Oklahoma conservatives ♥ single-payer health care

February 4, 2011

Okay, I think I’ve got it now. A three-fourths supermajority of Oklahoma’s Republican-controlled legislature is going to raise taxes and increase your medical costs. But it’s all for a good cause: They want to borrow more money from your grandchildren in order to prop up a dysfunctional, single-payer medical welfare program that is almost certainly the worst health plan in America.

Well, sure. Isn’t this pretty much what the voters on November 2 said they wanted?

You know, Judge Vinson reminded us this week that states are free to terminate their participation in the Medicaid program. That option is looking better all the time.
