I am reminded of an old saying, "if you are not pissed off you are not paying attention."
From Matthew we learn we are to look after the least among us.
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
But in North Carolina that does not seem to be the case. We don't care for the least.
"Monday night the Senate voted along party lines to pass legislation that would reject an expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act and would prohibit the state from setting up its own health exchange under the federal health care law.
By doing it, they didn’t just ignore the 500,000 low-income people who would receive health care under Medicaid expansion, they also ignored Gov. McCrory, who sent a letter to senators before the vote asking them to slow down the legislation to consider all of its implications for the state.
Sen. Berger couldn’t have cared less and the Senate Republican majority passed the bill to deny health care to half a million people."
North Carolina is not ready willing or able to expand medical care.
Out of work, down on your luck in North Carolina try living on $350 a week. Heck, try living on $535. And for less weeks.
