States and Medicaid: Health Policy Jenga

July 11, 2012, Tracy Gordon
[Mitt Romney] belongs to a very conservative party that hates this [health care] bill, many members of which have sworn that they’d rather eat ground glass than let this law go forward. But there is the conflicting problem of, ‘If you break it, you own it.’ [He will own] anything that goes wrong with the health-care system down the road.

States and the Affordable Care Act: An Offer They (Still) Can’t Refuse

July 2, 2012, Tracy Gordon
Actual repeal of health care reform on “day one” of a Romney administration is not possible, but a President Romney—assisted by a Republican House and Senate—could put into motion the steps necessary to pursue repeal over the course of 2013. Technically, Romney’s success would depend on whether or not Republicans gain control of both the House and Senate, and on the byzantine rules of the budget process in Congress.
July 2, 2012, Sarah A. Binder, Washington Post
[E]verything associated with health care reform has been highly partisan, and that is not likely to change any time soon. Public opinion has been sharply divided from the very beginning and sentiments have not changed significantly over the past few years. It is a sad commentary on our times that people cannot see beyond their own party views to evaluate how the legislation affects them personally.

Health Care Ruling Is Less Liberal Than It Looks

June 29, 2012, Darrell M. West
Public opinion on the [health care law] has been remarkably stable for two years, and I don’t think anything the president says (or Romney, for that matter) will make much of a difference. Only direct experience of the Act’s effects will change people’s minds, or alternatively, confirm them.

It’s a huge victory for patients and everything about this law that patients really enjoy and have an opportunity to enjoy in the future have been critical to the ruling today.

Does Court's Rule Put End To Health Care Battle?

June 28, 2012, Kavita Patel
The irony of the Supreme Court's decision is that this will make little difference in the presidential election outcome in that the number one issue is the economy, remains the economy, with any number two issue back in the dust.
