I think Governors want to take care of the folks in their State.

Obamacare is failing.

The Governors are excited about it. They see this as the ability to implement change that is tailored for their State.

The last version was correcting drafting errors; 99.9 percent the same.

There is a $2-billion implementation fund included in the bill.

It ends the Medicaid expansion and the affordability provisions to help people pay for private health insurance.

That's why I, with my friend from across the aisle, Senator Collins, have introduced the Lower Premiums Through Reinsurance Act to help States establish their own reinsurance programs.

Under our bill, he could be automatically enrolled so that he would automatically be insured.

Nor is there a definition for the word 'and'--a-n-d.

We are not touching Medicare, we are not touching employer-sponsored insurance, we are not touching Tricare.

First, Missouri has lots more money, because you are a non-expansion State and you would be treated as if you were an expansion State.

It ends Medicaid expansion which has enabled more than 400,000 moderate to low income Coloradans pay for health insurance.

But the Tennessee Governor said this is a gold mine or a Godsend or something like that for Tennessee.

We stand united in opposition to the proposal put forward by Senators Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, Dean Heller, and Ron Johnson.

The statute specifically says that the Governor must establish that those with pre-existing conditions have access to 'adequate and affordable' coverage.

First, let me say one thing about the $1 trillion cut to Medicaid. It is repurposed into the flexible block grant.

My patients had terrible disease, multiple chronic conditions but could not receive care elsewhere.

We actually, for those two States, we corrected the amount they get from Medicaid.

That is why they have excluded them from the block grant.

The Graham-Cassidy proposal, even though it does include a short-term reinsurance program, would destabilize the individual market.

It is essential to bring health-care decisions down to the State and local levels.

My life work has been to care for such fellow Americans. This bill continues this work by other means.

This gives your State the flexibility to do premium support.

We want equity so that, no matter where an American lives, she or he can get the care they need.

We agree. Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson passes a flexible block grant through the CHIP program.
