Perry: The Feds Hate TX, Medicaid Expansion is Like 'Adding 1,000 People to the Titanic'

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) on Monday: "The bottom line here is that Medicaid is a failed program,” Perry opined. “To expand this program is not unlike adding 1,000 people to the Titanic. You’re going to further drive this country into debt. … We don’t trust this administration and we don’t trust Washington, D.C. to be able to deliver health care in our state. If they trusted us, they would basically block grant it back to the states and we would do a substantially better job than what you’re going to see with these exchanges and with the expansion of Medicaid.”

“We got some of the finest health care in the world,” Perry insisted. “The idea that this federal government, which doesn’t like Texas to begin with, to pick and choose and come up with some data and say Texas has the worse health care system in the world is just fake and false on its face.” 9 Jul 2012 post a comment
