Rep. Jim Jordan on coverage for 11 million: I dont view success as keeping Americans on Medicaid
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/rep-jim-jordan-on-coverage-for-11-million-i-dont-view-success-as-keeping-americans-on-medicaid/
The plan we passed that every Republican supported last Congress said theres a two year effective date, Jordan explained. So, you would repeal Obamacare. But theres still two years transition time. Everyone knows you need a transition time to bring back a market place.
I dont view success as keeping Americans on Medicaid, he added. I view success as bringing down the cost of insurance so families can pick the plan that fits needs. Thats what were doing. We have a two year transition time for that.
And again, remember what we told the voters. We said were going to repeal Obamacare, not keep Medicaid expansion around forever. We said we were going to repeal it. So, lets do that.
