Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) turned down on Thursday a $37 million grant that would have helped to provide health care services for tens of thousands of Wisconsinites, saying he would rather deny his citizens treatment if it means he is resisting the “encroachment of ObamaCare.”
The money would have been used in Wisconsin to implement health care exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, meant to pool insurance resources to drive the cost of policies down for individual citizens and people with pre-existing conditions.
Translation: I'm a corrupt son-of-a-bitch and I won't do a Goddamn thing that will hurt the massive profits of the insurance companies that bankroll my grip on power. I would rather let people in my state die than negatively impact my cronies in the for-profit health care industry.
