(Community Matters) I don’t know what this means for the millions of Texans who were looking forward to purchasing health care insurance affordably in 2014
FIRST LOOK: Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in a letter today to Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, will announce his opposition to implementing a health-insurance exchange AND expanding Medicaid. Perry will write : “[W]e in Texas have no intention to implement so-called state exchanges or to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, I will not be party to socializing healthcare and bankrupting my state in direct contradiction to our Constitution and our founding principles of limited government. I stand proudly with the growing chorus of governors who reject the Obamacare power grab. Neither a ‘state’ exchange nor the expansion of Medicaid under this program would result in better ‘patient protection’ or in more ‘affordable care.’ They would only make Texas a mere appendage of the federal government when it comes to health care.”
