Bill Delahunt Half of all women who are sexually active, but do not want to get pregnant, need publicly funded services to help them access public health programs like Medicaid and Title X, the national family planning program. Louise Slaughter How we continue to fund Medicare and Medicaid into the future is a pressing issue of national concern. James T. Walsh In a system where the cost of care is hidden by taxes levied on your income, property, and business activities, it is no wonder why so many Americans rely on Medicaid to pay their long term care.

Medicare is growing by 9% annually, and Medicaid by 8% annually. Jim Ryun Medicaid is a vital safety net for New York's poor and vulnerable, young and old alike. James T. Walsh Medicaid is essentially bankrupt, Medicare is essentially bankrupt, why the heck would we give the federal government another entitlement program to manage? Timothy Pawlenty One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you're on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it's running away. Mike Huckabee People in Medicaid ought to have access to the same insurance as the rest of the population. If they are segregated, it will be a poor plan for poor people.

Tim Murphy The automatic stabilizer is unemployment insurance, food stamps, additional coverage of Medicaid. Franklin Raines The decision is 'trust fund' versus 'no more Medicaid' - and that shouldn't be a tough decision. Haley Barbour The Medicaid system currently steers people toward nursing home care. Far more people can be covered in community-based care programs for significantly less. Edward G. Rendell We have a serious structural deficit problem. And it needs to be addressed. The president is trying to address it through reforms of Social Security, but the problem is there with other entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid. John W. Snow We need a vibrant Medicaid program and strategies to expand affordable access to health care for all, especially for the specialty care services that community health centers do not provide. Jan Schakowsky Well, there are about 10 million children that aren't covered by health insurance. About 3 million qualify for Medicaid but don't get it, so we're going to reach out and bring more of those kids into the Medicaid program. Franklin Raines You're entitled to Medicaid regardless of your income. Don't worry about your health care. Max Baucus |
