Missouri Approves Affordable Cow Act
23rd March 2015
The same group of state lawmakers that have staunchly opposed expanding insurance coverage to low-income people under Medicaid expansion just unanimously approved a measure that subsidizes dairy cow insurance for farmers.
She says that as if it’s a bad thing.
Possible reasons:
1. They can afford it but not the expansion to Medicaid. Oddly enough, that’s even mentioned in the article; editor must have missed it.
2. Farmers make campaign contributions and low-income people typically don’t.
3. Cows contribute to the economy more than low-income people.
