"I was troubled by the policy proposals in the testimony of both Mr. Holt and Mr. Goldwein that seemed to devalue the Medicaid program."

"Many Governors, even Republican ones, even mine have opted to participate in the Medicaid expansion offered as part of the ACA because it is good for their States and good for their citizens."

"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."

"the ACA improved Medicare's financial solvency. It is now projected to be in good standing for an additional 4 years until 2030."
