There's a growing number of Republican-run states accepting Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, at least at the gubernatorial level, but South Carolina isn't one of them. Gov. Nikki Haley (R) ruled out the possibility months ago, despite the pleas of South Carolina hospital administrators and public-health officials.
...
As it turns out, "the politics" were so successful in "overwhelming the policy" that Crawford himself voted against the policy he said he supports.

So, screw your constituents, screw what's best for the people in your state or the country, screw doing what the people want, screw even you own idea of what works and doesn't, just blindly oppose everything that comes from the Obama administration.

Yeah, that tactic won't result in people thinking your sabotaging the country.

Yeah, as soon as you're done with that, you can start chanting: Nikki Haley: as Dixie as shoo-fly pie

Seriously though, what kind of Indian american makes their living sucking up to xenophobic imbeciles who can't produce anything of value to the United States?

True story: I have an uncle (family friend) in Monmouth county NJ who is Indian and he is a fundraiser for the republican party in New Jersey. Around white company (Republican party supporters/friends), he has no problem referring to Barack Obama as "that n****r". Mind you, this guy has darker skin than Obama. The joke is: If 'they' call Obama a n****r, what do they call him behind his back?

This is upper middle class monmouth county(predominantly democrat), New Jersey, not bumblefuck. If he does it, and people(white older republicans) are cool with it, I am inclined to believe that the haley's and jindal's of the world are comfortable with others doing it. Even if haley and jindal don't let words like that fly out of their mouth, they almost certainly won't admonish those who do in their presence in comparatively backwater South Carolina and Louisiana.

In describing it Monday, Sen. Joe Negron just called it the “Florida Plan.” Other Senators called it the “Negron Plan."

Look, I know that Republicans are largely racist, but if you're going to make a claim like that, back it up with a reference. That's pretty hard to swallow even when dealing with Republican Senators just on the basis that they cannot be that stupid. Maybe I'm wrong and they are, but cite something.

Oh, shoot. Sorry. Just realized the word was "Negron".

There might be reasons not to expand to healthcare exchanges. Government tends to only pay to set something up, they don't pay to run it.

Not sure if that's the case here, but that's the usual scenario.
