- Let’s see. It’s only one part of an article by Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson.
We know Medicaid provides health care for low-income people, families and children, pregnant women, elderly people, folks with disabilities – you know – those in need.
A Democrat in Wisconsin doesn’t like that Governor Walker reduces health care for those many in need by turning away Medicaid expansion paid by the federal government. He points out that, under Obamacare, Walker is only canceling funding needed for Wisconsin families and sending it on to other states.
James is indignant at the false charge. Walker didn’t send the money to other states. Since Obama invented Obamacare rules, Obama sent it back.
No, really. That’s what he says.
