Governor in red state shows expansion of Medicaid boosts the economy

From the New York Times, Lisa Shapiro. Feb 13, 2015

“Gov. Steven L. Beshear of Kentucky released a study Thursday predicting that his expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act would generate a positive fiscal impact of nearly $1 billion for the state over the next seven years … counter[ing] a drumbeat of Republican warnings that extending the program to nearly 400,000 additional Kentuckians to date … would eventually impose a heavy burden on state taxpayers.”

Are you listening, Gov. Deal and Georgia legislators?    Stop saying Georgia can't afford it -- while you give away billions in tax incentives to get Mercedes to move its headquarters here.
