Rick Perry Seeks Obamacare Funding For Texans

[UCmeNdc]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), a longstanding Obamacare critic, is negotiating a $100 million health care deal with the Obama administration, Politico reported on Tuesday.

The Community First Choice Program, aimed at improving the quality of health services for the elderly and disabled, was approved by the Texas legislature earlier this year. Perry health aides are now looking to the Obama administration for funding.

1. It's all about health care for teabaggers!

I knew there was a catch!

"Long before Obamacare was forced on the American people, Texas was implementing policies to provide those with intellectual disabilities more community options to enable them to live more independent lives, at a lower cost to taxpayers...,”

7. Please...

I live in Texas and am 70 but not NOT a Tea-beggar. I don't think it will help my husband (78) and myself but that money is a drop in the bucket for the needs of Texans without Medicare or Medicaid and yet most welcome.
Want a fight? Back single-payer as I am. We need passion and youth.

2. Fuck this miserable hypocrite. Tell him TX can have their money the day after he resigns

3. Hypocrite

I say we move Ft Hood somewhere else. Only 9 billion to the local economy........Texas won't miss it

4. Considering that more than a quarter of the Texas population doesn't have health insurance...

...I'd say their situation qualifies as a crisis.

5. But but but.....ain't that SOSHALIZM????

Ah tell y'all, it jest ain't Amurken.

So now Rick Perry wants health care money from Washington that he would refuse Texans the moment he gets to Washington.

You may well get the money, because ordinary Texans deserve it, but the Oval Office? In your dreams, Hairball.

6. To funny for words...Perry don't give a HOOT about Texas people He is trying to get re-elected

9. He's not running for re-election as Governor.

The guy who wants to take his place, current Attorney General Greg Abbott, makes Perry look moderate.

8. Oh, DOES he now?

I swear, if I was a more vindictive person, I would say that the President should wipe his ass with Perry's request.

Sadly, there are a lot of non-Perry voting Texans who would be hurt, and that's not right.

10. I don't think

the good people of Texas should have to suffer because their governor is an asshole.

So, Mr. Obama should give him the money


in the form of a giant prop check.
