But like the protesters in Washington on Tuesday, he’s not sure the replacement plans will improve matters. He also gained coverage under the law that he doesn’t want to see disappear. ... So what about the new replacement plan? Is it any better? “I think it’s Obamacare lite,” he said. He’s particularly critical of the age-based subsidies, which he views as another entitlement program. On the other hand, Slain doesn’t want Medicaid expansion to end in 2020, as Republicans are now proposing. That’s the part of the law that will directly impact him, and perhaps limit his health care — however imperfect — or take it away. Medicaid kinda is an entitlement program there. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
