Letter: ?Healthcare should not be a political pawn

TO THE EDITOR:

This letter is in response to Nikhil Umesh’s article in the Daily Tar Heel, “Political ploy costs NC lives.

Nikhil — thank you, thank you, thank you. You hit the nail right on the head, so to speak. I too agree that there is no excuse for not taking the federal money to expand Medicaid to those in need. It truly is a political stunt like the ones GOP and Tea Partiers do in Congress when they refuse to vote or vote against a bill proposed by our Democratic president because he is a Democrat — and probably for some because he is an Afro-American Democrat. 

McCrory has no excuse, and neither do his buddies in the legislature.
