A governor accepts money back from the Feds which was taken from his state'a citizens in the first place.
And thus those funds rightfully belong to the state's government? Or to the state's poor?
It's not clear what point you're trying to make.
Before you label anyone a hypocrite, consider why the link does not provide the specific section of the PPACA which 'provides' the funds.
It is possible the state has no choice, as the PPACA is chock full of mandates.
The article clearly identifies the funds as being in the form of a Money Follows the Person grant (new funding was authorized in section 2704 of the ACA).
And no, states aren't required to seek MFP grants.
Being a complete phony and mouthpiece for this statist, job-killing, tax-incrasing legislation, of course you would pretend that there is actually a set program in Obamacare...
The truth is that it is vague, and meant to be exacltly that.
"The illusion is perpetuated by ambiguity in the writing, administrative complexity, thousands of pages of legislative text and deferred decision making."

The section that you name as 2704 is characterized by the government itself as follows:
"Section 2704
The comments on the
interim regulations indicate that PPACA Section 2704 goes beyond HIPPA in that it not only bans an exclusion of coverage of specific benefits associated with a preexisting condition in the case of an enrollee, but a complete exclusion from such plan or coverage, if that exclusion is based on a preexisting condition.
We are unsure what this means....Depending on the interpretation of the regulation, this well could impact the underwriting processes for insurers offering individual policies. Will
the departments be issuing additional guidance on what constitutes exclusion from a plan based on a preexisting condition under PPACA and how that is or is not different from guaranteed issue?"

This difficulty in reading, understanding and counting on the sections to remain beyond 'interim regulations' is designed to make certain that it is difficult to pin down.
You, on the other hand, are easy to understand, a mouthpiece for the Left-wing government known as the Obama administration.
BTW, you never revealed whether or not you are paid to obfuscate?
Well? Are you?
