Another Reason Why Sandoval Is Not A Conservative

I'm sure moderate Republicans love him but if you are a conservative, you have to admit that you are starting to loathe Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada.
I supported Sandoval for governor but if there is a conservative running in a primary against him next year, I won't be voting for Sandoval.
From the LVRJ: Nevadans could soon see one of the biggest expansions of state government in modern history as Medicaid, a program that provides health care coverage to low-income residents, moves to cover more than 170,000 new enrollees by 2015.
The projected increase from 319,827 Medicaid recipients at the end of the current budget on June 30, 2013, to 490,103 on June 30, 2015, represents a 53 percent increase over two years. Total enrollment would represent nearly 18 percent of the state's entire population.
The program's expansion, paid jointly by the state and federal government, is largely because of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - Obamacare - provisions to kick in on Jan. 1, 2014.
Gov. Brian Sandoval supports the expansion and has included it in his proposed 2013-15 budget. It is now up to lawmakers to debate the expansion and other aspects of the program. There has been strong bipartisan support for the recommendation.
Mike Willden, director of the Department of Health and Human Services, said it is easily the single largest undertaking in his 25 years with the agency.
"It will be huge," he said. "From eligibility workers, new offices, automated systems, mental health, Medicaid. It is a very large expansion."
The state Welfare Division would hire 440 more workers in the new budget primarily because of the Medicaid expansion, Willden said.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/medicaid-plan-called-one-of-nevada-government-s-biggest-expansions-189110651.html
Yep, that's we need, more people on the public dole and more government workers and not enough taxes to support this program, if not immediately, but it will be in a couple of years.
Hey Sandoval, how many Nevada Congressional Republicans supported ObamaCare?  Answer: 0
Gov. Sandoval=RINO
