The 21st Century Koch-Christian Crusade Is Killing Thousands Of Americans

Politicususa -

-snip-

In Alabama late last year the governor refused to expand Medicaid that affected 300,000 Alabamians and is responsible for closing down hospitals. In fact, according to statistics, by rejecting the free Medicaid expansion the governor’s rejection will kill more than 700 Alabama residents each and every year. It is not ISIS type-numbers, but for a state like Alabama that prides itself on being a “very Christian state” like Tennessee, conservative Christian Republicans are wantonly killing their fellow citizens with valuable assistance from the Koch brothers. And, it is happening NOW; not a thousand, sixty, thirty, or twelve years’ ago like critics of the President contend.

There is a current “crusade” in several Republican state legislatures filled with conservative Christians, and Republican governors advocating for Medicaid expansion, to kill any attempt to help provide their residents with access to lifesaving medical care. One such crusade led to the death of a Wyoming Medicaid expansion bill last week that enjoyed the support of Republican Governor Matt Mead and would have provided lifesaving medical care for over 17,000 low-income residents.
