"The Affordable Care Act, as we know, includes an expansion of the Medicaid program to include more low-income adults."

"Medicaid is an important program. We view it as a critical safety net that provides healthcare coverage for those individuals who have been shut out of private insurance."

"We are talking about a program that covers children and adults with disabilities, and pays for nearly half of all long-term care services."
