The term "BrewerCare" gleefully stolen from friend and strong Veterans and YD activist Cole...
Republican "governance" in a nutshell, using Arizona as an object lesson:
- Push for tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, while heavily pimping a sales tax hike that disproportionately affects poor and working families...
- Embrace an anti-immigrant law that would be utterly ineffective at reducing the number of undocumented immigrants crossing the border, but would directly benefit Jan Brewer's (and Shadow Governor Russell Pearce's?) advisers/puppeteers from CCA
- Push for cuts to Arizona's Medicaid program, AHCCCS, that caused a patient, one already prepped for life-saving liver transplant surgery, to be discharged from the hospital because AHCCCS now won't cover the cost of the surgery (for a liver donated specifically to him by a dying family friend)...
- - The Democratic caucus of the Arizona House of Representatives has a press release containing some of the history behind the specific cuts here.
...Just a little sneak preview of what 2011 will hold for Arizona and the country with the Republicans running things...
