Tea Partied Republican Governors Place Politics Above Affordable Health Care

Since losing the 2012 General Election, Tea Partied Republican governors are more determined than ever to stop Obamacare at the state level. The sickest part of their anti-Obamaccare fight is that they want to deny quality, affordable health care services for the very constituents who elected them in to office!  

The irony of the matter is that as taxpayers, WE subsidize comprehensive health care coverage for these very same governors as well as for their families!?!?!

According to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers’Health Research Institute, “14 states and the District of Columbia have made significant progress toward implementing reforms while another 19 states have made “moderate progress, leaving 17 states or about a third – that have yet to change their laws or take other steps toward implementation.”


Tea Partied Republican governors are justifying(?) their resistance on the lame excuse that Obamacare takes away states’ discretionary abilities. Before Obamacare, states retained “substantial discretion” to determine eligibility or scope and duration of coverage, but...


... WE all know what Tea Partied Republican governors do when they have discretion to   determine eligibility, scope and duration for anything  - they  legislate voter suppression laws; they legislate invasive, unnecessary medical procedures affecting women’s reproductive rights; they shut down  pre school  and after school programs; they close elementary schools; they shut down Planned Parenthood programs so women can't have access to affordable cancer screenings, and they cut federal assistance for preventive health care, women, children, the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed, veterans, the poor and college students!


Here’s a list of Tea Partied Republican Governors who vowed to “reject”  Obamacare

Governor Rick Perry of Texas
Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama
Governor Nathan Deal of Georgia
Governor C.L. Otter of Idaho
Governor Paul LePage of Maine
Governor Phil Bryant of Mississippi
Governor Pat McCrory of North Carolina
Govenor Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania
Governor Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota
Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina
Governor Pat McCrory of North Carolina
Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin
Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana
Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma

Here’s a list of Tea Partied Republican Governors who are leaning toward not participating in Obamacare

Governor Sean Parnell of Alaska
Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas
Governor Dave Heineman of Nebraska
Governor Gary Herbert of Utah
Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia
Governor Matt Mead of Wyoming

FYI...
While researching for this post, we were amazed at pages upon pages of Repeal Obamacare  on-line petitions sponsored by Right Wing interests groups such as the National Republican Congressional Committee, Freedomworks, For America, Liberty Action  and the like. 

WE can change that situation by contacting the above listed governors at their office websites, at voting polls and below.
