The Obama administration relies on misinformation or outright lies to gain an advantage over their opponents. There is nothing more important to a democrat then political advantage in the race for ultimate power. It's who they are, it's who they have always have been and always will be. It's just now they have come out form the shadows to show the world their true intention.
To ignore the obvious is to accept failure in our country of it's institutions and it's Constitution that has provided so much prosperity and freedom in America and around the world.
In November we all have a chance to change the direction of progressive disorder and failure, vote out the democrats or suffer the consequences for falling asleep when it's our turn to take responsibility to save our country as those did in decades past.
If we fail to stand and deliverer, historians will point to this generation as those that when they were called to do the heavy lifting were not up to the task, but turned a blind eye and so lost the country to the enemy. How will we explain our failure to do our duty to the next generation?
Biased White House Medicaid Expansion Report

A new White House report on state Medicaid expansion says that declining to expand Medicaid is the wrong decision for states, says Charles Blahous of Economics21. The report, entitled "Missed Opportunities," claims that expanding Medicaid would benefit public health, state budgets and the economy.
Blahous breaks down these three arguments:
Blahous breaks down these three arguments:
- While the White House is correct that expanding Medicaid increases insurance coverage, increasing coverage does not mean that expansion will improve health outcomes. Furthermore, Blahous notes that purchasing all health services through insurance encourages consumption and only drives up prices.
- As for state budgets, while those newly eligible for the program are largely covered by federal funding, the ACA will also bring other Americans -- who were previously eligible for Medicaid -- out of the woodwork. For those individuals, states must cover 40 percent of their costs, on average. Costs to cover these individuals are already exceeding state projections.
- To the claim that expanding the program will help the economy, the government is asserting that federal spending under the ACA to stimulate demand is good for the economy. Yet, the White House has previously said that reducing federal health care spending was necessary to boost economic growth. These two things cannot be true simultaneously, says Blahous.
