16. Spitting mad!

I've been an "avid reader" of DU for years, but have never been brave enough to post. I came to the South Dakota group this morning because I'm spitting mad at our Republican Legislature for not allowing Medicaid expansion to be put on the ballot and I was looking for some discussion on it. You're right. It's empty and lonely here. How can they be so tone deaf, when public polling shows approval for expansion, and the medical community is hopping up and down, begging for it?
