Bobby Jindal's Sneaky, Smarmy Lie To Chuck Todd About Medicaid Expansion

Bobby Jindal's Sneaky, Smarmy Lie To Chuck Todd About Medicaid Expansion

"Because he refused to expand Medicaid, hospitals are closing emergency rooms around the state. Worse yet, that charity hospital system is being privatized, which means hospitals will not get the benefit of federal dollars to defray the costs of treating the poor.

In other words, that claim of Jindal's that people will leave private insurance is a straight-up lie because all he needed to have done was present a plan simillar to the one his cohorts in Arkansas and Pennsylvania did to allow private carriers to cover Medicaid-eligible residents of Louisiana."
