While the Left seems obsessed with increasing taxes and spending even more money, conservatives have focused more heavily on the need for spending restraint and entitlement reform - primarily to preserve and protect the future of the Medicare program. Overlooked in all of this is the future of Medicaid.
Obamacare is not working for Mississippians, who have had fewer choices and higher costs since that bill was passed.
Ultimately, the decision to expand Medicaid is one of common sense and necessity; the facts make it clear that it is good for state economies, good for hospitals, and good for the people who need healthcare coverage.
With Obamacare's fate in jeopardy, Democrats have no solutions to solve the mess they forced upon Americans.
I do oppose repealing Obamacare, because it's working for growing numbers of previously uninsured Americans.
One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you're on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it's running away.
With its Medicaid expansion, Obamacare may turn out to be the most equality-promoting policy enacted in a generation.
I usually stay out of politics, but people have asked me whether the American Healthcare Act (AHCA), if passed by the Senate, will affect me personally. I'm about music, not politics, but the fact is this one has me freaked out for poor and disabled people.
One of the major problems with Obamacare - and another reason it needs to be entirely repealed - is that it prevents Montanans from developing our own, better health care system.
While the federal government is committed to paying 100% of the cost of new people in Medicaid, I cannot, in good conscience, deny the uninsured access to care.
I think we've got a pretty good track record of definitively opposing Obamacare in the state of North Carolina.
The public knows how many good things there are as part of the Affordable Care Act. The Republicans say they're going to repeal. They don't know what to replace it with.
We can help a whole lot of people if we could figure out a way to expand Medicaid and get people the care that they need.
Simply expanding Medicaid does not improve health care outcomes. In Louisiana, instead we're helping people getting better paying jobs so they can provide for their own health care.
I'm glad that Gov. Scott down in Florida accepted ObamaCare, because it will work.
Obamacare has got everyone on edge. I mean, small business - men and women or big business are sitting out there saying we have no idea what this is going to cost, but we know it's going to cost us and cost us a lot.
I have much greater faith in the governor and the state legislature to craft a Medicaid system that is going to be the best fit for the people of Georgia rather than someone in Washington dictating it.
Illinois has the opportunity to lead the country in providing more affordable health care options to its citizens.
The A.C.A. is not perfect, but it has helped us move forward.
You can't say it's broken, but let's keep some of Obamacare. You have to start over.
Obamacare. Get rid of it. Period.
Expanding Medicaid without fixing Medicaid is a terrible idea.
The simple truth is that the implementation of Obamacare has hurt Americans and their health care more than it has helped.
I oppose Obamacare and believe it has failed. It drove up premiums, took insurance away from people who were promised otherwise, and usurped state programs.
Under Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson, more people will have coverage, and we protect those with pre-existing conditions.
