"Did anybody read the article who commented below?

It states: Expanding Medicaid would bring a projected $15 billion into the state’s economy, creating an estimated 25,000 jobs in health care and related sectors by 2016.

The economic expansion it would create would offset the cost."-Arthur D.

Nope, they were all to eager to parrot Rush & Hannity's talking points to engage in any reading comprehension or critical thinking. They think if you have no medical care other than the ER you can go see a doctor whenever you want, and that there's no corruption or inefficiency with private health insurance even though medicare is 5x more efficient. That's how we ended up with these clowns in the GA.

jdupree -- I agree!

The NC GOP appears to think that not accepting responsibility for their own citizens will somehow make all those sick poor people magically NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL!?!

It will only encourage all doctors and hospitals to KEEP ON DEFRAUDING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID -- conservative prosecutors feel that businesses don't deserve to face criminal charges no matter how many millions they steal.

Why should I buy car insurance -- been driving accident free for 40 years, I don't need car insurance, they can't make me buy it, that's socialism, isn't it?

NC is like a hillbilly reality show where shoe size IQ's strut their ignorance proudly after having sold the state to Art Pope and the Koch Bros, Art gets to be budget director!

You can't make this stuff up...

The government buy ammo in bulk, just like a lot of sport shooter do, it cheaper.

What happen to my beloved state, the one that I tried so hard to get back to over the years, only to find that the people here are all coldhearted , uncompassionate and without common sense, isn't this what we live for, to help others...don't this simplest thing of helping suppose to be in our DNA.....

to help 500,000 people to get healthcare, to help people who have lost their job(due to no fault of their own), somehow we think just because we don't do this, somehow we will pay less taxes or our way of life will be taken away from us, your taxes are still going to go up, and the state will tell you things like it is to take care of roads(that we overpaid to do the first time) or to build more schools (instead of helping the ones we got now), or to give the Governor employers a RAISE(that's a good one) or to give big business money to come here,(only for them to leave). or this is a good one...let charge people high taxes on their homes(knowing that their homes are not worth it). or

Problem is, flattop, do you want to hire more employees to monitor the unemployment process?

There are no free rides, someone has to pay and Democrats don't care who as long as it's not them!

Gork, yes, throw many of them off unemployment. I was on unemployment for nine months. All I had to do was go to the State unemployment web site and answer weekly five questions and the check showed up in my bank account. The process is so bad. When I called to tell them that I had a job and asked how I end the unemployment, I was told to just not fill out the weekly questions. There are no checks and balances in the system so as long as the Feds keep extending unemployment their is no incentive for many people to go out an find a job. If you are in the lower income level and the weekly unemployment check is making up 80 to 90 percent of what you were earning then tell my why I would want this cash flow to stop.

roadrunner: tragically true..why is the govt. buying up 1.5 Billion rounds of assorted caliber ammo over the next 10 years? To beat back an invasion of Muslims??? Nope--to defend the government from fed up Americans.
