like I said, block grants to the states
Financing Beginning in 2014 coverage for the newly eligible adults will be fully funded by the federal government for three years. It will phase down to 90% by 2020.from your link. Calling a shrub block grant majik asterisks and an Obama block grant expanding medicaid(thanks for the correction) not a majik asterisks is because the democratic party would not stand for an expansion of healthcare for poor americans by a republican president. Otherwise majik asterisks or not more poor people would have had more care than before but your party did not want that to happen.

1:1 payment for expenses is not a block grant.
A block grant is - http://www.urban.org...tions/310991.html
Block grants are fixed-sum federal grants to state and local governments that give them broad flexibility to design and implement designated programs. Federal oversight and requirements are light, and funds are allocated among recipient governments by formula. Most federal aid is currently distributed to state and local governments as categorical grants, which may also be allocated by formula but can only be used for rather narrowly defined purposes. Bush's 2006 plan was magic asterisks. Read it yourself, and ask yourself why it wasn't passed while he had a Republican House and a Republican Senate, or for that matter, why it wasn't even taken up as a major piece of legislation. http://georgewbush-w.../2006/healthcare/ Hint: HSA for poor people don't help them. They don't have money to save. HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

apparently you didn't read all of it, missed a spot
Action: Establishing Community Health Centers in poor counties. To make sure access to health care is available where it is most needed, the President has set out to establish a Community Health Center or rural clinic in every high-poverty county in America that can support one. The PresidentÂs FY 2007 budget proposes to establish 80 such centers or clinics in poor counties not now served.

Community Health is great and important.
We've agreed on that in the past.
He expanded Community Health Centers, but that wasn't enough. http://www.americanp...y-health-centers/ In fiscal year 2002, which began in October 2001, President Bush launched the PresidentÂs Health Centers Initiative with the goal of adding 1,200 new and expanded health center sites over five years Âto ultimately double the number of patients treated at community health centers.Â15 This was the hallmark of his strategy to address the nationÂs uninsured.16 Due to subsequent budget constraints, however, as the federal budget surplus of the 1990s under President Bill Clinton turned to deficits under President Bush, this goal shifted to expanding the number of patients seen from 10 million in 2001 to 16 million in 2006. Still, this patientdriven goal helped grow the funding levels of community health centers from $1.34 billion for FY 2002 to $2.1 billion in FY 2008. Bush did some good things, like his program for AIDS in Africa. He didn't have a serious proposal for quasi-universal health care in the US like Obamacare. Cheers, Scott. |
