1m Vag fight over Medicaid expansion continues
By Misc nd La Vana February 24,2014
ov. Tey MeAuli hit the rad tse Medisid expansion Monday, toring a Norther
Virginia hospital to make the humax and business case for insuring more poor end working
people — and to pressure House Republicans who have pledged to bloc the effor.
Launching a two-week media blitz, McAuliffe (D) sharply rapped the GOP-led House of
Delegates for its role in the current impasse. He old doctors and administrators at Inova
Loudoun Hospital that asa businessman and a person of deep faith, he finds Republicans’ refusal
to expand coverage nonsensical economically and “very disturbing” morally.
McAuliffe pointed tothe 400,000 adlitonal people who would qualify for Medicaid in Virginia
under the Affordable Care Act, 70 percent of whom arin households where atleast one person
tas ajob, Under a plan written by moderate Republican Sen, John C. Watkins (Powhatan) —
and rejected by the House — uninsured people earning up o 138 percent of the federal poverty
level would quality for coverage. (The poverty level fora family of four is $23,850.) The
proposal would use S17 billion e year in federal aes collected in Virginia under Oharacare to
buy private heath insurance for tose individuals
“They come home from work on a hard day. They sit on their couch. And they think, ‘I could
get health care forthe first time, I can provide for my family. Is already paid for,"” McAuliffe
sad in an interview. “How do you look that person inthe eye and explain this? How? These are
working folks. They work hard. I just have a hard time with it, tobe honest with you, a hard time
with it, We owe ito them, and they've waited long enough.”
McAuliffe also acknowledged what was obvious 120 miles south in Richmond on Monday: that
the solution tothe deadlock over Medicaid is unlikely ocomequichls- There, dueling business
groups joined the fray by casting the proposed expansion as ether a helpful jolt to the economy
or an iresponsible increase in spending. The governor seid itis lkely the issue won't be
resolved before the scheduled March 8 end of the General Assembly session.
‘The Virginia Chamber of Commerce endorsed an approsch similar the Senate's “private option”
plan, which would require enrolles to have a job or be looking for one. The chamlber's plan
‘would require an audit and reauthorization every four years, something no! in the Senate
proposal. And it endorses the two-year audit of Medicaid the House is pushing for, although,
unlike the House version, it would not wait forthe audit's completion before expanding the
program.
Barry DuVal, president ofthe chamber, ticked off the details onthe 11-point plan and said it
‘would allow Virginia to tap into federal tax dollars to lower health-care costs and improve the
‘health ofits citizens.GOVERNOR'S CONFIDENTIAL WORKING PAPERS
“We understand i's politically difficult, but the business case is compelling,” said F. Kevin
Reynolds, president of Cardinal Bank and one of several business leaders who attended the news
conference.
An hour later in the same room, House Speaker Wiliam J. Howell (Stafford) and other
Republican legislators joined the National Federation of Independent Business to warn against
‘expansion and criticize the Senate's decision to fold Watkins's plan into its budget proposal
‘Howell said Medicaid, which without expansion has grown a8 percent a year — and 1,600,
percent over the last 30 — is already a budget-buster. “I's gonna break us,” he said.
“Not everybody in the business community thinks expanding Medicaid is a good ides,” said
Nicole Riley sate director ofthe independent business federation, which is headquartered in
Tennessee, “Many business lenders prefer eomplete reform of Medicaid before tossing more
‘money on a raging wildfire.”
Meauliffe said that many hospitals in rural parts of the state are facing existential financial
troubles and that even in Loudoun, one ofthe state's wealthiest jurisdictions, filing to bring
bhome billions of dollars in tax dollars collected under Obamacare would have far-reaching
consequences atthe local hospital. Tens of millions of dollars that could be used for everything
fom high-tech research to covering the poor would be missing, hospital officials sid
“It's lke the federal gas tex you pay every time you fill up the car,” MeAuliffe said. The
‘message from House Republicans is “we don’t want it,” MeAuliffe said.
‘To ty to take the edge off of pain being felt by the state's hospitals, Repu
proposed $118.6 million in additional Medicaid paymenis over two year,
‘But Katharine M. Webb, senior vice president of the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare
Association, sid the offer falls Far short of what the hospitals would receive if there were
250,000 people newly insured under Medic
‘That would bring hospitals $692 million, Webb said. “The difference is vast,” she said,

‘As part of the restructuring of federal health-care spending under Obamacare, certain Medicare
cuts were accompanied by efforts to insure more people, But the U.S, Supreme Court ruled the

Republican opponents say thet the federal government isan unreliable long-term partner, given
its own budget woes. The federal government has agreed to pay 100 percent of the Medicaid
expansion costs forthe frst three years, an, after a gradual reduction, would pay 90 percent of
those costs in the future, But even the 10 percent would be a costly it to Virginia's budget,
House Republicans say
Barbra Jill McCabe, a top pediatric emergeacy physician and anager, helped show
“MeAuliffe around the pediatric ER in Loudoun, where a child screamed behind a glass
partition. Regardless ofthe different opinions on how to improve America's health system,
she suid, “I think expanding eare for the folks who need it has tobe part ofthe
