RGA Chairman Bob McDonnell: How Much Longer Will the President Ignore Governors?

The Republican Governors Association released a new letter today reiterating the need for additional guidance on the Medicaid and Health Insurance Exchanges provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

In the 80 days since 29 Republican governors first submitted their questions, the Obama Administration has only addressed two of the questions in any meaningful way.

“Thirty months have passed since the President signed Obamacare into law, and it ought to be alarming that the Democrats who wrote the legislation are still trying to figure out what’s in it,” said RGA Chairman Bob McDonnell.  “Unfortunately, this ill-conceived law has serious consequences for patients and doctors as well as taxpayers and state governments.”

“We are now nearly two-thirds of the way to the law’s alleged implementation date. How much longer will the Obama Administration make governors wait to have our questions answered?” McDonnell asked.

“As governors continue to wait for answers, it becomes more and more clear that Obamacare needs to be repealed and replaced, and the only way to do that is by electing Mitt Romney in November,” McDonnell concluded.
