Jeff Amy: Gov. Bryant appears to be slipping on GOP plan to stymy Medicaid

Jeff Amy has a great article up today about the GOP strategy to prevent Medicaid expansion.  Primarily, he talks about how Bryant's announcement that he won't call a special session at all is a marked deviation from the prior stance of calling one and putting the pressure on Democrats while in special session.  Here's how the article begins:
