So, will this be the swan song for Snydercaid?
Like we didn’t see this coming?
And by “we” I mean real conservatives, not the bland neo-con, conservative wanna-bees around election season who revert back to their true selves the day after the general.
Thanks to the number-crunchers over at the SFA along with President Trump, Gov. Snyder’s signature achievement (Snydercaid), is in jeopardy of closing up shop due to its costs, and someone who had the foresight to include a weakness in the legislation which can be exploited when it grew into an ever-growing percentage of the budget.
What’s even worse (also on page 6 in the SFA link above):
“The new Federal law would increase GF/GP (General Fund/General Purpose) costs sufficiently to trigger this provision by the end of FY 2019-20. Thus, assuming no changes to the statute, the Healthy Michigan Plan would terminate.
If the State opted to continue the program (which would require Legislative action and a gubernatorial signature to change the statute), the GF/GP costs would increase significantly in subsequent years as noted above. Obviously, if the Federal legislation is enacted, the decision on whether to change the statute to continue the HMP would be impacted by the fiscal considerations outlined above.”
Gov. Snyder knew that this day was coming. He even went to Washington to personally lobby on its behalf.
But when you act like a wishy-washy, mealy mouth wimp who will not take a stand, people remember things like that.
Speaking of “never forgetting”…

Thanks for the reminder that the RINO-Burger went to DC to beg for mo medicaid.
I hope Trump remembers well, the nerd was not his friend ..ever. "I never forget"
It appears that RynoCare perversely incentivizes the states which did not expand Medicaid to do so before 2020:
This will, of course, come at the expense of states like Michigan which expanded Medicaid and make Snyder's folly an even more intense drain on the General Fund.
