Bernie Sanders dings Nikki Haley on Medicaid

[Uncle Joe]

In multiple speeches here, the liberal Democratic presidential candidate and Independent senator from Vermont has a one-two punch ready: South Carolina should have expanded Medicaid and the decision not to was fueled, at least in part, because President Barack Obama wants that to happen.

“Your governor, your legislature, as well as many many other governors and legislatures in Republican states, put ideology, a rich right-wing ideology, in front of and before the needs of their people,” Sanders told an estimated 500 audience members at the Sumter County Civic Center on Saturday.

Haley has directly mentioned Obama in vowing not to expand Medicaid. “Not in South Carolina,” she said in 2013. “We will not expand Medicaid on President Obama’s watch. We will not expand Medicaid ever.”

“People in South Carolina and other states will die because they do not have access to healthcare because of the expansion of Medicaid.”

It sounds to me like Nikki Haley, the South Carolina Legislature along with other resisting Governors and state Legislatures need to now remove the partisan and/or racial flag of hatred from their own hearts if they truly wish to help their people.
