'Every time she’s been asked, Ivey has thrown up her hands and asked where’s the matching money [for Medicaid expansion], like we’re asking her to turn water into wine. Now it’s clear that wasn’t merely an excuse,' WarOnDumb writes. 'It was a lie, too.'
The state has given up billions in federal money. I’ve long ago lost count. It has let rural hospitals close and suffer, further hurting the small towns that depend on their services. We might never know how many Alabamians went bankrupt or how many died., have given up their stubborn resistance to the Obama-era program.
Now it’s clear that wasn’t merely an excuse. It was a lie, too. If you’re a prison contractor or an amusement park developer, Ivey won’t just turn your whitewater into wine, she’ll stock a full bar. There’s $31 million for the Mobile Airport to shuffle facilities there, and $25 million for the Port of Alabama to upgrade its coal loading facilities so private Alabama coal companies can ship their product.And there’s $5 million for the World Games, a thing which already happened in Birmingham but ran over budget. The World Games CEO already said he’d get that money from private sources, but apparently “private” meant the state.
