Ensuring Affordable Health Coverage for All (continued)
The American Health Choices Plan will make health insurance more affordable for the millions of Americans who want it. It includes a number of straightforward policies to achieve this end:
5) Strengthening Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program to Serve All Low-Income Individuals: These programs serve over 55 million Americans, and have done so successfully through federal-state and private-public collaborations. The holes in this safety net (e.g., lack of coverage of poor, childless adults) will be fixed to ensure that the most vulnerable populations receive affordable, quality care. Similarly, the other part of the safety net, like public hospitals and community health centers, will continue to receive support to serve vulnerable populations.
By all means, let's figure out more efficient and effective ways to take care of weakest amongst us. I believe it is our duty and should be one of the things that a great nation like ours can do.
