Mississippi Governor Refused Obamacare, Then Blames Obamacare For Increase in Uninsured

Mississippi Republican governor Phil Bryant has some nerve! Just like other Republican governors nationwide, Governor Phil Bryant has denied the people of his state any access to healthcare through Obamacare, and has refused to expand Medicaid through the provisions provided under Obamacare.

That is expected. He is after all, a Republican and as such, has put his political ideology above the health needs of the people he governs. After a WalletHub study of the uninsured in Mississippi found a 3.3% increase in the uninsured rate, Bryant is putting the blame squarely on Obamacare… the same Obamacare he refused to implement in Mississippi.

“If statistics show that the ill-conceived and so-called Affordable Care Act is resulting in higher rates of uninsured people in Mississippi, I’d say that’s yet another example of a broken promise from Barack Obama,” Bryant said. 

The nerve of this dude!

An estimated 137,800 people in Mississippi were left uncovered by health insurance because the state did not expand Medicaid.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
