Obamacare Replacement That Works for AZ

By Team Ducey

Friend ,
Governor Ducey has repeatedly called for an Obamacare replacement that works for Arizonans.Last week, he discussed with The Washington Examiner how Congress should move forward replacing the Affordable Care Act.

Here are a few highlights:

  • “We want flexibility to adapt healthcare regulations that reflect what our states’ citizens need.”
  • “We want to ensure that the rug isn’t pulled out from under people who need help and access to healthcare.” That includes people with pre-existing conditions, who need insurance coverage just like everyone else.
  • “And we want to get it right the first time without inflicting all the trauma that came along with Obamacare. Congressional leadership and [Health and Human Services] Secretary [Tom] Price are listening, and that alone is a vast improvement. We have a good framework to continue the conversation and move forward.”
  • Ducey says that a fix “won’t happen overnight,” but he is unwavering on a few points, namely that, “the taxes, mandates and federal control that comprise Obamacare should be repealed as quickly as possible, and the necessary elements of a healthcare plan that puts patients first and ensures the broadest possible access to quality healthcare should replace them.”
