The second thing that we could do is expand a public program like Medicaid to include her in it.

Since the president signed the law private sector employers in this country have added over 4 million new jobs.

I think that there is a political dispute about the law; I think it is one we ought to have in the election.

The premise of much of the argument against the Affordable Care Act is that it is a job-killing health care law.

What should our policy be about what happens to her and who pays for it?

I actually think it is a combination of people with very low incomes being in Medicaid and having some personal responsibility, people with somewhat higher incomes being in a private plan, which is what the law requires.

I think the record will show the reason for that is the credit isn't quite generous enough.

Median family income is in the 30s. It is somewhere between $32,000 and $38,000 a year.

If that were fully deductible the in-pocket benefit of that for them would be at a maximum about 15 to 20 percent of that.

Well, that is what the Affordable Care Act does.

Has your department formed a committee that votes on whether any person in this country gets medical care or not?
