[Nfbmo] FW: Gov. Nixon issues statement after call with Healthand Huma...

Wed Apr 10 04:01:53 UTC 2013

Nixon seems to be pulling his punches here.  He has taken strong  stands on 
such issues as the changes to Missouri civil rights laws - leaving no  
doubt whatsoever of where he stands - and more importantly, gaining respect for  
exhibiting a backbone - that he does have principles he'll fight for.  The  
statement referred to below is mystifying. He's traipsing all around the 
state  to gather support to expand Medicaid in Missouri and this boiler-plate 
is  released?
   I get the feeling that somebody send the wrong quote to the  press.
       Resistance in the House and Senate  notwithstanding, this almost 
seems like it was written by a computer programmed  by Steven Colbert to 
satirize political obfuscation.

Did  I miss something, or did we just learn that the governor spoke with  
the
secretary but not one item of interest was discussed? Where is the  "Your
legislature's plans are cracked?" or "We can live with 100  %?

FOR  IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 9, 2013

Gov. Nixon issues statement  after call with Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen  Sebelius

Gov. Jay Nixon issued the following statement following a call  with U.S.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius this  afternoon:

"The Secretary and I had a positive and productive  conversation this
afternoon about strengthening and reforming Medicaid. It  is clear that
moving forward and strengthening Medicaid will give us the  flexibility we
need to give Missourians the health system they deserve: one  that protects
taxpayers, rewards work, promotes personal responsibility and  brings the 
tax
dollars they send to Washington back here to  Missouri."
