I've deleted a hastily-posted, kneejerk response tweet which I shouldn't have posted. I'm just pissed as hell at GOP legislators in states like WY & MO who either rejected Medicaid expansion or are flat-out overriding their own voters on it (as well as FL & TX, of course).

Just yesterday, a 5-member Wyoming Senate committee rejected expanding Medicaid to 25,000 of their lowest-income residents *again* in a 3-2 vote, even though it would cost the state NOTHING for the first 3 years or so & only 10% of the cost after that. acasignups.net/21/03/31/3-wyo…

And this came just a week after Missouri Republicans defied their own voters & state constitution by blocking *funding* of their share of Medicaid expansion *even though they won't have to pay a dime for up to the first 4-5 years*, jeopardizing the program

The silver lining (pun intended) is that thanks to the #AmRescuePlan, IF YOU'RE ON UNEMPLOYMENT THIS YEAR, you qualify for a FULLY SUBSIDIZED (i.e., FREE) high-end #ACA exchange plan!

It's important to understand that millions of Americans (including those on unemployment this year) qualify for a FREE (or near-free) PLATINUM PLAN DISGUISED AS SILVER!
