Romney Medicaid plan

Not Fully American is a commentary written by the author Ed Kilgore. He seems like he has a genuinely good intention in helping lower income people. This commentary is a liberal blog, so obliviously he is a liberal focusing on the Medicaid issue in the conservative platform for 2012 election. The Romney/Paul campaign wants to give the states the authority for Medicaid instead of the federal government. The government would just give grants to states. He is worried that Republican strong states would reject these grants and more lower income people would suffer. This makes the conservatives seem not caring. The audience intended for this would be of a left wing liberal nature. The ones sympathetic to the lower income people.  I agree with what the author is claiming that if strong hold Republican states are allowed to decide how to use federal grants for social programs then a lot of lower income people are going to suffer. Conservatives in general have an ideology of limited social programs. He doesn’t even have to provide facts to have a strong argument for that.  There is a strong point he made when he said that poverty stricken areas of the South will be hit the hardest. This puts in my mind the time before the civil rights movement when segregation was a common practice in the South. A bad era in U.S. history, but one we must learn from.

Will red states be hit hard if states are authorized to provide or not provide Medicaid? That’s a definite yes.
