California is Bernie Sanders’ battlefield for health care

"While we have got to wage an all-out Combat to defeat this horrific legislation, we've too got to understand which in terms of health care, maintaining the case quo is only not perfect enough.

Republican rhetoric about giving states "flexibility" over health care is a sham

But to generality conservatives, there's a sound principle behind it, 1 that's Extremely likely to come back in the future: health care federalism.

Program which provides low-cost health care to 9M Kids Determine to expire

Amid intense debates about the Graham-Cassidy health care bill, the Senate & home missed the deadline to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance programme (CHIP) -- meaning federal funding for the programme going to expire at the finish of the month.

Minnesota ought create its method around lousy health care bargain from feds

Mark Dayton & Minnesota Republican legislative leaders to hastily implement a lousy bargain from the United States section of Health & Human Services (HHS) is one. The issue incloudes federal funding for 2 state-run programs which going to help around 200,000 Minnesotans access coverage. One, known as the "reinsurance" program, going to lower premiums with 20 % for those who purchase private health insurance on the individual market in 2018 & 2019. Therefore, continuing it instead of implementing the reinsurance programme can be a less expensive option which would save MinnesotaCare federal funding intact. But a state long known as a health care leader ought at least have a try to create its method out.
