Terry Branstad of Iowa opposes the Medicaid expansion that was written into the federal health care law, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Affordable Care Act gave states the right to opt out. [What this really means is that because SCOTUS said he can, Branstad is taking this opportunity to obstruct President Obama and help the national GOP with their real #1 priority].

Branstad has not offered any alternatives yet. [Simply put, there are not going to be any alternatives coming].

Governors in 11 states — all Republicans — have said they will not expand Medicaid or are leaning against it. [If we've said it once we've said it a thousand times, never let any Republican anywhere near the reins of power.]

1. Governor Teabag. He's got his, so to hell with Iowans.

He's got a free house and great healthcare. He'd rather make a "political statement" than help the residents of our state.

2. he is a founder of ALEC and is looking to get his name in their leadership

Branstad has always been left wanting on the national scene. And I have always felt he wants that limelight.
Eat pink slime, terry.
