STATE NEWS I RIEF CARSON CIT Nev. (AP) The press re is on Rep blican senators from congressional leaders, conservative gro ps and impatient GOP voters to lfill a seven- ear-old promise to scrap ch of Democrat Barack Obama health care law. back home, Rep b- lican governors who have perienced some of the pside of the law are warning their GOP senators to first do no harm.
For these governors, the iss is less abo delivering a tri mph to President Donald Tr mp and more abo not blowing a hole in state d- gets and maintaining health care coverage for constit ents. In the critical ne few weeks, some governors are niq el positioned to press home-state Rep blican senators who co ld den Majorit eader Mitch McConnell the votes he needs to pass a Rep blican health care bill. We are the voice of realit Nevada GOP Gov. Brian Sandoval told The Associated Press. Sandoval said he has been in reg lar contact with Nevada Rep blican Sen.
Dean Heller to disc ss the ramifications of the evolving GOP plan. Heller, who faces a to gh re-election ne ear, has joined Sandoval in opposing the rrent meas re. For war Rep blicans, the main concerns abo the GOP plan are rolling back premi bsidies that help people private ins rance policies and phasing the pansion of Medicaid, the federal-state ins rance program for the poor, disabled and man rs- ing home patients. In Nevada, more than 220,000 residents have gained coverage thro gh Medicaid pansion, 13,000 of them children. The set polic we re the ones who have to develop the dgets, develop the care, develop the plans, work direct- with the people, Sandoval said.
He said if mone is red ced, governors will be left to decide among npop lar choices: Raise a ta or limit coverage or change eligibilit req ire- ments for coverage. Heller is listening. I cannot pport a piece of legislation that takes ins r- ance awa from tens of millions of Americans and tens of tho sands of Nevadans, he said recentl Ohio John Kasich has been one of the most t- spoken GOP governors in critici ing GOP proposals. That has increased press re on Ohio GOP Sen. Rob Portman, who an- no nced his opposition to the bill after McConnell abr ptl postponed a vote.
concern all along has been, co ld low-income Ohioans get access to the health care the need and more specificall the treatment for the opioid epidemic? he told reporters this past week. Portman said he has disc ssed with Kasich vario financing options that wo ld ease an changes to Medicaid while not tting dr treatment programs. One McConnell proposal wo ld be to provide an additional $45 billion over a decade for states dr ab se programs. In Ari ona, GOP Gov. Do ce has called Obama law a disaster and stopped short of tright opposition to McConnell version.
he has rged Rep blican Sens. Jeff Flake and John McCain to shield states from tensive Medicaid ts. The program covers 1.9 million Ari onans, nearl 28 percent of all residents. The pansion alone covers 400,000. Both senators have et to indicate how the vote on a GOP bill.
Alaska Gov. Bill Walker, an independent who identifies as a conservative, has had reg lar contacts with the state two Rep blican senators isa rkowski and Dan llivan over what the Rep blican health care over- ha will mean for his state. Alaska has some of the highest health care costs and greatest medical needs in the co ntr Traditional Medicaid covers abo a arter of Alaska 740,000 residents, while the pansion benefits 34,000 more. rkowski has said she doesn have eno gh information to vote for the GOP plan. She has opposed the elimination of federal mone for Planned Parenthood, a provision of the bill.
McConnell has little wiggle room. With 52 Rep blican senators, st three defections leave him short of a majorit Democrats are nified in opposition. WASHINGTON (AP) The mber of U.S. ad lts witho health ins rance has grown some 2 million this ear, according to a major new rve that finds recent coverage gains beginning to erode. The new mbers highlight what at stake as Congress et rns to an nresolved debate over Rep blican proposals to roll back ch of former President Barack Obama health care law.
he Gall p-Sharecare Well- Being Inde blished toda fo nd that the nins red rate among U.S. ad lts was 11.7 percent in the second three onths of this ear, compared with a record low of 10.9 percent at the end of last ear. Tho gh small, the change was statisticall significant, rve anal sts noted. While Obamacare has remained politicall divisive, it had helped drive the nin- red rate to historic lows as some 20 million people gained coverage. Senate Majorit eader Mitch McConnell, R-K plans to check vital signs on his OP bill as senators trickle back to Washington from a 4 break that an spent listening to con- stit ents vent abo health care.
McConnell is seen as a master legislative strategist, there no sign he sec red eno gh votes to pass a bill. He can onl afford to lose two of 52 Rep blican senators. he Congressional dget Office has estimated that at least 22 million more people wo ld become nins red nder Rep blican legislation. cConnell has been considering easing some of the bill Medicaid ts, beefing health care ta credits to help people private ins rance a nd adding billions of dollars to co nter the opioid epidemic. That might comfort GOP moderates.
To placate conservatives, McConnell is weigh- i ng demands to make it easier for ins rers to offer skimpier policies. He also admonished fellow Rep blicans that the ma find themselves negotiating with Democratic leader Sen. Ch ck Sch mer of New ork if the don close ranks. In hat case, McConnell said he aim for a limited package propping tro bled ins r- ance markets aro nd the co ntr he Gall p-Sharecare r- ve serves as a kind of earl indicator, blishing several months before the nimblest government rve s. The ost recent government report fo nd that progress red cing the mber of nin- red stalled in 2016, after five consec tive ears of cover- a ge gains nder Obama.
Peering at this ear, Gall p- Sharecare fo nd an erosion of progress, with the mber of nins red edging again. It estimated nearl 2 million dropped of coverage. The losses were concentrated among nger ad lts and eople ing their own health ins rance policies, the rve fo nd. That ma be a reflection of rising premi ms and dwin- ling choices in the ins rance markets created nder Obama. Also, President Donald Tr mp has branded his prede- essor leading domestic achievement a disaster while rs ing its repeal.
Ins rers sa Tr mp administration actions are contrib t- i ng to do ble-digit premi increases for ne ear. Gall p-Sharecare fo nd that the nins red rate rose 1.9 percentage points among ad lts aged 18-25 since the end of last ear, and 1.5 points among those aged 26-34. articipation ng ad lts is considered vital for keeping health ins rance pre- mi ms in check. ng ad lts are also likel to enjo ood health and ma not rec- ogni val in having coverage.
