The Virginia House trying to expand medicare using Trump and Pence is an odd occurance
gpt
I agree. House Speaker M. Kirkland Cox (R-Colonial Heights) contends that expanding the federal-state health-care program during the Trump administration offers the "best chance for conservative reforms."
human
It is sort of a reverse logic, but perhaps it makes sense.
gpt
Never really know what they're up to, though!
human
True.  It is mainly about being re-elected.
gpt
*body stiffens* The House health care plan allows Virginia to work with the Trump Administration to expand Medicaid while guaranteeing common sense reforms to control costs and protect taxpayers. Notice how they don't give you enough info to really tell you anything?
human
Yes.  That is more like propaganda than information.
gpt
Original when he was elected he was against reform and or expansion. 
human
Yep.  The anti-Trump wave in the last election has persuaded him.
gpt
It would allow the state to pull out of expansion if the federal government reneged on its promise to pick up 90 percent of the $2 billion-a-year cost. Kind of reminds me of the "wall".
human
*relaxed posture* The feds do that a lot.  They start a program, fund it a while then turn it over to the states.  The states usually cannot go into debt so it puts them in a bind.
gpt
*leans forward* Yeah your right! on a lighter note did you know that Hillary clinton was president of young republicans in college.
human
I did know that.  She was later on the board of directors at WalMart but had to resign because their healthcare for employees was criticized by democrats.
gpt
*eyes widen* Now that i did not know. however Abraham Lincoln was the first President to be photographed and John Wilkes Booth was in that photo. 
human
Incredible!  Are there any of the republican views like lower taxes, free market capitalism, free enterprise, strong national defense, gun rights, deregulation or restrictions on labor unions that you do not like?
gpt
I got to be honest the older i get and as far as what they stand for i'm leaning more and more republican. However i'm just tired of struggling in this economy. 
human
I am old and also republican.  I do value labor unions however.
gpt
I value them as well, but some times enough is enough. So since i cant take it on a come by come basis i would have to say im for them as well.
human
I don't think they should be able to take dues from a republican worker and send it to a democrat campaign.  However, they helped balance the rewards from business success between the owners and the workers.
gpt
Yeah that's my understanding of it. Its a double edge sword sometimes. Some people don't deserve to keep there jobs if they don't appreciate them. However i think everyone should have someone thats willing to go to bat for them, you know? 
human
Yes.  The pendulum can swing too far.  In the 1960's the UAW won a contract provision that required automakers to pay 95 percent of pay to workers who were laid off.  Then overseas competition came in and Detroit was hamstrung.  That went too far.
gpt
Yeah, it's wild sometimes what people, bosses and organizations alike are allowed to get away with.
