Today’s Dose of Chutzpah

The winner is the governor of Mississippi.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) blamed President Barack Obama for a reported increase in uninsured Mississipians. The problem is, Bryant didn’t acknowledge that he’s been a staunch opponent of expanding Medicaid under Obamacare and refused to encourage enrolling in private coverage through Healthcare.gov.

Bryant directed his blame at Obama in response to a question about a WalletHub study that showed an increase in the percentage of uninsured Mississippians. The study found that the uninsured rate increased by 3.34 percentage points to 21.46 percent of Mississippi’s population, according to the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

Gotta give him props for doing it with a straight face.

  1. Same thing here in Maine: Fat-Ass Paul LePage, e of more chins than a Chinatown phone book, refused to accept the Federal funding to expand Medicaid in Maine and then says “Obamacare” doesn’t work cause there are so many uninsured in Maine (like me, those who don’t make enough to qualify for financial assistance and would have been covered under Medicaid)
