“As long as I can be denied coverage for a disease I had 5 years ago, or as long as my premiums go up when I have a birthday, health coverage will not be accessible or affordable.  Reforms will have succeeded when there is not more fine print saying if you’re sick you’re out of luck.” 

“Medicaid provides quality, cost-effective care for our low-income and vulnerable populations.  We should use Medicaid to close the holes in our health care safety net and expand Medicaid to cover adults at or around the poverty level.  Do not take individuals out of Medicaid and put them in private plans if those plans do not meet their needs and offer the same quality as Medicaid.”  

“Reforms should build on what works in the current system and fix what’s broken. That means reining in costs, focusing on quality care and ensuring that all Americans have choices—in plans and in doctors—so they can decide what’s best for them.  I want the freedom to choose to keep my current plan and doctor, or choose another private plan, or choose a quality public health insurance plan.”
