At a meeting on Medicaid expansion under President Obama’s health care law on Jan. 29 at the South Carolina Statehouse, state Rep. Kris Crawford (R) questioned whether the policy was politically feasible. From the Charleston Regional Business Journal:
Rep. Kris Crawford, a Republican from Florence and also an emergency room doctor, supports the expansion but expects the Republican caucus to vote as a block against the Medicaid expansion.
“The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party,” Crawford said.
