"To expect Medicaid to do that on some notion that an already lean program can somehow be magically more efficient makes no sense at all."

"When providers listed as participating in a plan cannot offer appointments, it may create a significant obstacle for an enrollee seeking care."

"Half of providers listed as accepting Medicaid patients could not offer appointments to enrollees."

"My big concern about the Medicaid expansion has been that you are putting more people into this program."
