Claim: “Private insurance gives … better coverage” than people would get under a Medicaid expansion. (Mark Born, 2021-03-21)
Evidence (2016-10-20): Second, for people who made too much to qualify for Medicaid even after we expanded it, we set up what we call marketplaces on HealthCare.gov, so you could shop for a plan that fits your needs, and then we would give you tax credits to help you buy it. And most people today can find a plan for less than $75 a month at the HealthCare.gov marketplace when you include the tax credits that government is giving you. That means it's less than your cellphone bill -- because I know you guys are tweeting a lot -- (laughter) -- and texting and selfies. (Laughter.) And the good news is, is that most people who end up buying their coverage through the marketplaces, using these tax credits, are satisfied with their plans. [...] Now, part of the reason for this is, as I already mentioned to you, not every state expanded Medicaid to its citizens, which means that some of the most vulnerable working families that the law was designed to help still haven’t gotten insurance. As you may have heard, Florida is one of those states. If your governor could put politics aside -- [...] In fact, if the 19 states who so far have not expanded Medicaid would just do so, another 4 million people would have coverage right now all across the country.

Evidence (2023-03-27): "Medicaid expansion is a once-in-a-generation investment that will strengthen our mental health system, boost our rural hospitals, support working families and so much more," said Governor Cooper. "This is a historic step toward a healthier North Carolina that will bring people the opportunity of better health and a better life." [...] Veterans, early childhood educators, restaurant workers, nursing home workers are all among the groups that often fall into the coverage gap and sometimes have to work two or more jobs to afford health care. [...] Governor Cooper’s budget, First in Opportunity, proposes using a portion of the almost $1.8 billion Medicaid expansion signing bonus to create the Improving Health Outcomes for People Everywhere (IHOPE) Fund. The plan focuses on three areas: making mental health services more available when and where people need them; building strong systems to support people in crisis and people with complex behavioral needs; and enabling better health access and outcomes with data and technology. Medicaid expansion will take effect upon the signing into law of the FY 2023-25 appropriations act.

Evidence (2021-12-11): Unlike the current system, private plans in the new Medicare system will be held to stricter consumer protection standards than they are today, such as getting reimbursed less than what the Medicare plan will cost to operate, to ensure that they are delivering meaningful value and unable to profit off of gaming consumers or the government. People will also be able to purchase supplemental insurance covering services not included in Medicare, such as medical insurance for traveling abroad, or cosmetic surgery. Essentially, we would allow private insurance to offer a plan in the Medicare system, but they will be subject to strict requirements to ensure it lowers costs and expands services. If they want to play by our rules, they can be in the system. If not, they have to get out. [...] At the end of the ten-year transition, every American will be a part of this new Medicare system. They will get insurance either through the new public Medicare plan or a Medicare plan offered by a private insurer within that system. Seniors will see stronger Medicare benefits than they have now. We will cover millions more people who don’t have health insurance today. And we will reduce costs, save our country money, and ensure that no American has to sacrifice getting the care they need just because the cost is a barrier.

Evidence (2024-01-18): The Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides Americans—including those with and at risk for HIV—better access to health care coverage and more health insurance options. [...] More affordable coverage. To help people access quality, affordable coverage, the ACA created the Healthcare.gov Marketplace (and some state-run Marketplaces, sometimes called "exchanges") that help consumers compare different health plans and determine what savings they may qualify for. The ACA also provides financial assistance for people with low and middle incomes in the form of tax credits that lower the cost of their monthly premiums and lower their out-of-pocket costs. These tax credits depend on a family’s household size and income. In addition, Americans can apply for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid and CHIP at any time, all year. If you qualify, coverage can begin immediately. [...] The ACA expands the capacity of the healthcare delivery system to better serve all Americans, including those with and at risk for HIV. For example:

Evidence (2021-11-02): Medicaid expansion has led to better access to care and health outcomes for low-income individuals and their families across the country. A large body of evidence shows that Medicaid expansion increases utilization of health services and diagnosis and treatment of health ailments, including cancer, mental illness, and substance use disorder. Medicaid expansion is associated with improvements in health outcomes such as cardiac surgery outcomes, hospital admission rates for patients with acute appendicitis, and improved mortality rates for cardiovascular and end-stage renal disease. Beyond health outcomes, evidence points to improved financial well-being in Medicaid expansion states, including reductions in medical debt and improved satisfaction with one’s current financial situation. A study that assessed eviction rates in California found that Medicaid expansion is "associated with improved housing stability." [...] Medicaid expansion has helped many disabled people and caregivers access care based on their income status. Not all disabled people qualify for the traditional Medicaid disability pathway. Medicaid expansion allows disabled people to join the workforce without jeopardizing their Medicaid benefits and gives low-income workers a fallback option for coverage if they lose access to employer-sponsored insurance.

Evidence (2023-06-30): "Tens of thousands of South Dakotans now have an opportunity to obtain health care coverage, and the peace of mind it provides, as a result of Medicaid expansion," said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. "The comprehensive health insurance that Medicaid provides can be life changing for American families. I urge the remaining states yet to adopt expansion to do so." "Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people, and a cornerstone for achieving health equity – particularly for underserved communities," said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. "Today, South Dakota becomes the 39th state along with D.C. in adopting the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. We urge the more than 52,000 newly eligible South Dakotans to apply for coverage, and we look forward to working with more states to expand Medicaid and continue the historic improvements in getting people insured under the Biden-Harris Administration." [...] Medicaid, together with the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), remain the largest source of health care coverage in the U.S., connecting nearly 94 million individuals to a range of critical health services. If all remaining states were to expand their Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as many as 4 million more un- or under-insured individuals could enroll in high-quality, affordable health care coverage through Medicaid. Specifically, the number of Black adults eligible for Medicaid would be almost five times greater, and six times greater for Hispanic adults.
Claim: “Private insurance gives … better coverage” than people would get under a Medicaid expansion. (Mark Born, 2021-03-21)
Evidence (2024-07-11): A large body of research shows that Medicaid beneficiaries have substantially better access to care than people who are uninsured (who are also primarily low-income) and are less likely to postpone or go without needed care due to cost. Key measures of access to care and satisfaction with care among Medicaid enrollees are comparable to rates for people with private insurance (Figure 7). Given that Medicaid enrollees have low incomes, federal rules generally have protections to limit out of pocket costs that can help improve access. Longstanding research shows that Medicaid eligibility during childhood is associated with positive effects on health and effects beyond health such as improved long-run educational attainment. Early and updated research findings show that state Medicaid expansions to adults are associated with increased access to care, improved self-reported health status, reduced mortality among adults, and increases in economic security.
Claim: “Private insurance gives … better coverage” than people would get under a Medicaid expansion. (Mark Born, 2021-03-21)
Evidence (2023-01-01): If your state has not expanded Medicaid: You may qualify based on your state’s existing rules. Rules vary from state to state and may take into account income, household size, family status (like pregnancy or caring for young children), disability, age, and other factors. Because each state and each family situation is different, there’s no way to find out if you qualify without filling out an application. [...] A Marketplace health plan would cost more than Medicaid and usually wouldn’t offer more coverage or benefits. If you qualify for Medicaid, you aren’t eligible for savings on a Marketplace plan. You’d have to pay full price for a plan. [...] If your state hasn't expanded Medicaid coverage - If your state hasn’t expanded Medicaid and your state agency said you’re not eligible under its current rules, you may have fewer options for coverage. Depending on your income you may not qualify for savings on a private insurance plan.

Evidence (2024-03-06): - Closing the Medicaid Coverage Gap. The President continues to call on Congress to provide Medicaid-like coverage to people in the 10 states that have not adopted Medicaid expansion as well as keeping Medicaid expansion enrollees covered. [...] - Crack Down on Junk Insurance. Last year, the Biden-Harris Administration proposed a monumental rule to help millions of Americans access high-quality, affordable health insurance and protect consumers from being discriminated against because of pre-existing conditions. Making sure Americans aren’t scammed into low-quality coverage, and charged more or denied life-saving care is a key priority for the Administration, which is why we are working to finalize proposed rules that limit the availability of junk insurance. [...] - Expanded health insurance through the ACA Marketplaces to an additional nine million Americans and helped over one million people in Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and South Dakota gain Medicaid coverage.

Evidence (2023-12-01): Medicaid expansion will cover people ages 19 through 64 years with higher incomes, closing the coverage gap for North Carolinians. For example, expansion gives health care coverage to single individuals making under $20,000 a year. Likewise, a family of three earning less than $34,000 combined is now eligible. Medicaid pays for doctor visits, yearly check-ups, emergency care, mental health and more — at little or no cost to participants. [...] La expansión de Medicaid cubrirá a personas de 19 a 64 años con ingresos más altos de los que se permitían antes, cerrando la brecha de cobertura médica para los habitantes de Carolina del Norte. Por ejemplo, la expansión brinda cobertura médica a personas solteras con ingresos menores a $20,000 al año. Del mismo modo, una familia de tres personas que con ingresos menores a $34,000 en conjunto ahora es elegible. Medicaid paga las visitas al médico, chequeos médicos de rutina anuales, atención de emergencia, servicios de salud mental y más, a bajo costo o sin costo para ti. [...] "En el Centro de Defensa Legal de Charlotte, vemos a muchos clientes que luchan con la estabilidad de sus ingresos y la inseguridad de su vivienda, a quienes luego se les dice que ganan demasiado para calificar para Medicaid", dijo el director ejecutivo Toussaint Romain. "Para ellos, la expansión de Medicaid es literalmente un salvavida que garantiza que no tengan que elegir entre ir al médico o poner comida en la mesa".

Evidence (2017-04-27): New York, New York, April 27, 2017—Having Medicaid is not only substantially better than being uninsured, but it provides enrollees with health insurance that on most measures is as good as or, in some cases, better than private coverage, according to new a Commonwealth Fund report. Medicaid is currently the nation’s largest health insurer, covering more than 70 million people, about 12 million of whom enrolled when 31 states and the District of Columbia expanded eligibility for the program under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The report finds that the large majority of people who have Medicaid for the full year are able to get the health care they need. Based on survey results, 91 percent have a regular source of care, compared to 93 percent of privately insured people with continuous coverage and 77 percent of people uninsured for at least part of the year. Medicaid enrollees are also happy with their care—57 percent rated it as very good or excellent, compared with 52 percent of the privately insured and 40 percent of the uninsured. [...] The report, How Medicaid Enrollees Fare Compared with Privately Insured and Uninsured Adults, uses responses from The Commonwealth Fund’s 2016 Biennial Health Insurance Survey to compare the health coverage and health care experiences of people with Medicaid, uninsured individuals, and those with private insurance, including employer plans and individual market plans.

Evidence (2024-03-12): For this list, we compiled some of the most memorable quotes as categorized by both Biden supporters and Biden opponents. These are gaffes, inspirational quotes, and other lines that continue to be used and repeated. Some might fall into distant memory, only to be replaced by more recent quotes, while others might stand the test of time. Nobody can tell, but here are 20 of Joe Biden’s most memorable quotes. [...] Biden said this while describing the tactics employed by Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. Leave it to a career politician to admit to one of the tricks of the trade. Appealing to our fears and deep-seated anxieties is something we all know that politicians do, yet we fall for it over and over again. [...] Biden said this when announcing his candidacy for the 1988 presidential campaign. It was insightful and true at the time, and unfortunately remains even more true today during a time where we see laws meant to help the common people being repealed in the name of individual profiteering. In the same speech, Biden also said that Americans should be better than just working toward "the mere accumulation of material things."

Evidence (2022-01-19): But so, look, this is — I’ve been engaged a long time in public policy. And I don’t know many things that have been done in one fell swoop. And so, I think the be- — the most important thing to do is try to inform — not educate — inform the public of what’s at stake, in stark terms, and let them make judgments and let them know who’s for them and who’s again [against] them, who’s there and who’s not there, and make that the case. And that’s what I’m going to be spending my time doing in this off-year election. [...] But rather than judge what’s going to get done and not get done, all I can say is I’m going to continue to make the case why it’s so important to not turn the electoral process over to political persons who are set up deliberately to change the outcome of elections. [...] I doubt that anybody thought that would ever happen in America in the 21st century, but it’s happening.

Evidence (2021-03-24): Remarks by President Biden and Vice President Harris in a Meeting on Immigration [...] And, you know, back when I was Vice President, I got a similar assignment, but one of the things we did was we made sure that we got a bipartisan agreement with Democrats and Republicans to provide over $700 million to the countries in the Northern Triangle to determine the best way to keep people from coming is keep them from wanting to leave. [...] But this is — this is the — the source of one of the reasons why we’ve had such a — before we took office, in the midst of the last administration’s somewhat draconian policies of separating children from their parents, et cetera, what happened was that we — we found that there were a serious spike in the number of people heading to the southern border, even in the midst of that. And as — as Alejandro can tell you, is that was because there were serious natural disasters that occurred in those countries. They were coming north, and we did nothing to do any — much about it.
