Orange assholes

The Affordable Care Act provides for the U.S. States to get substantial federal funding to expand Medicaid to all residents with incomes at or below 133 percent of poverty. The Obama administration has given them the incentive to expand their programs by paying 100% of the cost of the expansion through 2016, then 95% in 2017, 94% in 2018, and 93% in 2019. Beginning in 2020, the federal government will fund 90% of the expansion. The Kaiser Family Foundation has numerated the many benefits of participating in the expansion.

And yet, as the above map from Avalere State Reform Insights shows, only 20 states & DC plan to expand medicaid eligibility, while 15 have announced that they will not expand, and the rest are undecided. What is the reason for so many opting out or being on the fence? The answer is obvious - they are assholes who don't really care about people having good health care.  And I don't mean just the elected officials who have made these decisions. I also include those who put them into office.
