Patriotism, Rethug-Style

The refusal by most Rethuglican / Stupid Party governors to expand Medicaid and to set up State health insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act has resulted in huge numbers of veterans being denied adequate coverage:

"While the health care law does not change the Veterans Health Administration or other military health care systems, the ACA does expand Medicaid to all uninsured Americans with incomes below 133 percent of the federal poverty line and could provide health care coverage to nearly half of all uninsured veterans. This population of approximately 1,314,000 veterans tends to 'have served more recently, are younger, have lower levels of education, are less likely to be married, and are less connected to the labor force.'”

So when the next flag-waving "patriot" on the right tells you that "Obamacare" will destroy America, remember these figures and ask them who's really "destroying America?"
