The Senate candidate now says North Carolina should consider expanding Medicaid:
“It wasn’t like I had an ideological objection to expanding Medicaid,” he told Time Warner Cable News. “We’re trending in a direction where we should consider potential expansion. … I would encourage the state legislature and the governor to consider it.”
Democrats were quick to cry flip-flop.
Sure it’s easy for Tillis to say since he won’t be around to do the hard work, no matter the outcome of the election. By the same token, is it such an outrageous flip-flop considering the fact that Gov. Pat McCrory —who has nothing to lose in this election —- and Secretary Aldona Wos are reconsidering Medicaid expansion based on claims that “management problems have improved at the state Department of Health and Human Services.”
The real issue is whether or not that truly is the case.
