User Clip: 091206 Cornyn Said Medicaid was a 'Gulag,' Limited Health Care Patient Choices

"The President said the American people ought to have choice when it comes to health care, their choice of their doctors and health plans. The fact is, this bill would consign 60 million Americans to a health care 'gulag' called Medicaid. I say that because, although Medicaid provides what some people would say is coverage, it certainly doesn't provide access. In the metroplex of Texas, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, 38 percent of doctors will not see a new Medicaid patient because of Medicaid's low rates." close
