All her life, I have watched her as though from another shore Picture Quote #1

Conservatives are telling elected leaders that expansion of Medicaid comes at a moral - or more overtly, a political - price. At what price are they willing to go back on years of proclaiming ‘socialized medicine’ as the slippery slope to ‘rationing of health care,’ ‘death panels’ and other claims far too gruesome to mention in polite company?
