In an article that shows just how astoundingly out of touch they are, PoliticMO describes the latest argument going on between Republican Missouri Senate candidates Sarah Steelman and Todd Akin over Medicare.
In a recent Tea Party meeting in Fulton Akin said, “I don’t find it in the constitution that it is the job of the government to provide healthcare”, and described the program as unconstitutional. What he really meant is that it’s not the job of the government to create and encourage programs that protect the well being of its citizens, especially if they are expensive. While Akin doesn’t think a full on dismantling of the program is possible at this point, he is against expanding it any further. This is a particularly confusing position to take when over 1 million people in Missouri currently depend on this program.
