Perry Medicaid Decision Cruel and Negligent
July 9th, 2012
Texas Democratic Party spokeswoman Rebecca Acuña released the following statement in response to Rick Perry’s announcement that Perry does not support expanding Medicaid:
“Rick Perry’s announcement is both cruel and negligent. No person with a speck of intelligence would turn down billions in federal dollars that would be a boon to our economy and help Texans. But then again this is Rick Perry. Rick Perry could’ve brought billions in federal dollars to Texas, reduced the rate of the uninsured and improved the quality of life for Texans. Rick Perry’s Texas solution is to let Texans stay ill and uninsured. That is not a health care plan. Once again Perry is putting partisan political pandering in front of the interests of Texas.”
