Republicans do not care about your health or well being. If you are poor, they wish you to die.

That's not true, they want slaves

Can't really have someone as a slave if they are dead because of a lack of healthcare.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

The missing link here is they want you to enter voluntary slavery when you realize it's the only remaining way to afford healthcare.

Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia.

The following states never expanded Medicaid.

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming

If anyone was confused why some very red states weren't on the list

Definitely didn't expect Illinois to be on that list. Hopefully Pritzker will do something about it? Only time will tell.

Money’s gotta come from somewhere. At least with a trigger law Illinois won’t be taking on more debt while they figure out what to do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder if that trigger was from before Illinois got that sweet, sweet legalized cannabis revenue. I know that IL finances were crazy bad back then, and I haven't heard much about them being crazy bad in a few years now.

Unfortunate to see for many states here.
