Ramones are convinced that the people their states do not want Obamacare
okay they don't want to expand Medicaid and have more people
get health care coverage people up
you think people want help girls they all wanted and South Dakota is a
red state if ever there was one so obviously in South Dakota
the people are not going to want to expand Medicaid under
the Affordable Care his own power that the
did a poll on it and it turns out 63 persona people South Dakota
you support expanding Medicaid so
hoops so that's a link you mean to the problems to run the state
so the state legislature is republican and
they decided mir there was a proposals that we take you to the people of South
Dakota
and give them a referendum to decide this we're gonna go ahead and take that
proposal that strictly partisan vote Democrats voted to have a referendum
and Republicans voted not to happen when asked about it will they explain to the
Associated Press the republicans said
the lawn boaters to make a decision there should be left to the legislature
would set a bad precedent I love that quote
wait a minute
allowing democracy would set a really bad press in our your are you say we
should be representing those guys
ok now I know it up represent those guys don't be smelly
so I understand that the legislators may be a little concerned about the
president democracy
yes but there are times when in in a should be rare
when legislators don't go with the popular well and they say look we gotta
make a moral decision here
could've been in the civil rights movement at different times right
but those are moments that a rebel usually you're supposed to be
representing the people that you are the representative
of but of course as we've seen over and over again with politicians and
certainly were problems are certainly on this
issue there their wish to the their people in your state or a little Inc you
mean for you
just the norm
