The hapless governor of Illinois, a.k.a. Big Government Rauner, has been incapable, so far, to force the state legislature to accept his anti-family, anti-education, anti-children budget. In a fit of impotent rage, he decided to start killing citizens to blackmail the legislators into compliance. Now the state is refusing to cover health insurance claims of 146,000 people, including many elderly folks:
Citing the state budget impasse, an agency controlled by Gov. Bruce Rauner has stopped paying health-care claims for at least 146,000 state workers, retirees and their families receiving coverage through self-insured plans.
However, payments to other health-care providers will continue, for the time being, on behalf of at least 158,000 patients covered by the state’s managed-care plans.
Note the bold-typed part. Rauner is holding these 158,000 people (one of whom is me) hostage in order to wrestle out of the legislature the right to hire many more expensive lackeys who’ll make his stupid wife feel important. I congratulate all of the idiots who voted for this freak of nature because they were convinced that it is possible for a very rich fellow to look out for the interests of anybody but other very rich fellows.
Will nothing teach you to beware of billionaires, you stupid twits?
