stupid doesn't cover it.
WTF
is wrong in Missouri?
---------------
We can't afford not to have single-payer!
WTF is wrong in MO
The same thing that is wrong in many states. Too many Republicans whether they run with a R or a D after their name.
OTOH, Baby Blunt, ex-governor, drastically cut back on Medicaid and other health care programs and could not get enough support to run for reelection. Even Republican voters did not like to have family members denied the care they need.
Evidently good old Roy, didn't get the message "Don't f*ck with our health care " that the MO voters sent to Baby Blunt. But, few have claimed that the Blunt family is blessed with intelligence.
BTW Blunt had the opportunity to vote to abolish
Medicare but failed to do so.
