Congressman DesJarlais Statement on Governor Haslam's Decision Not to Adopt ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion

Statement

Date: March 27, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net Health and Health Care

"Expanding Medicaid based on a promise the federal government will pick up the tab is short-sighted. Washington's unsustainable deficit spending means we will likely see a situation where the funds devoted to paying for the Medicaid expansion dry up, forcing states to foot the bill. It is my hope that the administration will listen to the local voices echoing across this country that the Obama plan will not work."
