Their most conservative cadre wanted full repeal of the Obamacare regulations and taxes and a rollback of Medicaid expansion as quickly as possible. Their more pragmatic senators feared the fallout from dumping millions off Medicaid. Even Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, whose West Virginia voters went overwhelmingly for Trump, had to think about having 30 percent of her state’s families now on Medicaid. Other GOP senators were primarily fixated on the plight of those with pre-existing conditions, assured of affordable insurance for the first time under Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Opposition is easy; governing is hard\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP Senate caucus is home to profound ideological diversity. That can be a wonderful thing when all are united in opposition to the governing party. It is a far different creature when it must be united in order to pass things. So the divisions have now been vividly exposed by the coming of a Republican president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, in 2015 it was easy for the Senate GOP to be unified in repealing Obamacare without a replacement. But no one doubted President Barack Obama would veto that. Now, Republican votes alone can make laws happen, and the prospect arises of voters not liking those laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. The health care issue will not go away\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a decade now, one major party or the other has been agitating for big changes in health care and insurance. The ever-escalating costs of high-tech care and the near-constant debate in the media guarantee the issue’s salience will continue to grow. The average American wants good health care and has been increasingly promised “the best.” But we often do not focus on the cost until necessity arises. Nor do we realize the true cost and reality of insurance coverage. As this changes, health care will demand more political attention, not less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Surprise: The idea of “single-payer” is gaining ground\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even without the friendly label of “Medicare for all,” government-guaranteed health care single-payer polls better today than it has for generations. Democrats are increasingly likely to favor it as a logical extension of current programs for children, retirees and lower-income families. Among Republicans, however, it is still “socialized medicine” and it remains anathema — just as when it was first proposed in the late 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with escalating costs and political wrangling, more people are realizing that the health care system is a series of economic and political choices. The basic choice is between a for-profit health insurance industry that needs to make money (and has the power to raise premiums) and a single-payer system based on taxation and government regulation. This already exists as Medicare and the States Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) for the youngest. Those programs are both popular and enjoy bipartisan support in Congress. But extending them to cover the generations from young adulthood to seniority remains the key battleground in health care politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven years ago, an open microphone caught Vice President Joe Biden congratulating President Obama on the passage of the health care bill that would define their legacy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/tv/joe-biden-drops-f-bomb-during-historic-health-care-signing/\">Biden’s salty choice of words is more politely repeated by the initials “BFD.”\u003c/a> But his assessment of the moment’s importance was far from wrong. Seven years from now will we remember the events of this week as a matching bookend for Biden’s BFD?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The health care issue will not go away\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a decade now, one major party or the other has been agitating for big changes in health care and insurance. The ever-escalating costs of high-tech care and the near-constant debate in the media guarantee the issue’s salience will continue to grow. The average American wants good health care and has been increasingly promised “the best.” But we often do not focus on the cost until necessity arises. Nor do we realize the true cost and reality of insurance coverage. As this changes, health care will demand more political attention, not less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Surprise: The idea of “single-payer” is gaining ground\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even without the friendly label of “Medicare for all,” government-guaranteed health care single-payer polls better today than it has for generations. Democrats are increasingly likely to favor it as a logical extension of current programs for children, retirees and lower-income families. Among Republicans, however, it is still “socialized medicine” and it remains anathema — just as when it was first proposed in the late 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with escalating costs and political wrangling, more people are realizing that the health care system is a series of economic and political choices. The basic choice is between a for-profit health insurance industry that needs to make money (and has the power to raise premiums) and a single-payer system based on taxation and government regulation. This already exists as Medicare and the States Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) for the youngest. Those programs are both popular and enjoy bipartisan support in Congress. But extending them to cover the generations from young adulthood to seniority remains the key battleground in health care politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven years ago, an open microphone caught Vice President Joe Biden congratulating President Obama on the passage of the health care bill that would define their legacy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/tv/joe-biden-drops-f-bomb-during-historic-health-care-signing/\">Biden’s salty choice of words is more politely repeated by the initials “BFD.”\u003c/a> But his assessment of the moment’s importance was far from wrong. Seven years from now will we remember the events of this week as a matching bookend for Biden’s BFD?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

John Cornyn (R-Texas) the No. 2 GOP leader, told reporters that while backers of \u003ca href=\"https://www.budget.senate.gov/bettercare\">the measure\u003c/a> did not yet have the GOP votes needed, “we will by the time we vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revised draft was presented to Republican senators at a closed meeting Thursday morning. Among its many provisions, it would cap federal funding for the Medicaid program, covers more than 70 million low-income Americans, and give states authority to waive insurance regulations in the ACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been struggling for more than two weeks to satisfy holdouts from both wings of the party.

Such a fundamental change to Medicaid should have a full set of legislative hearings, she explained. Even fully repealing the ACA would not cap spending for Medicaid in the way the Senate bill is proposing. “Repealing Obamcare would not change the underlying Medicaid program,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACA expanded Medicaid, but the Senate changes would cut it back well beyond that expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more “no” vote would stop the bill in its tracks, even with a potential tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence.

Cruz touted after the meeting that the legislation includes provisions to allow people to use tax-preferred health savings accounts to pay insurance premiums (which are currently banned). It would also allow anyone to purchase a plan that covers only catastrophic health expenses (which the ACA limits to those under age 30) and permit insurers to offer plans that do not conform to many of the regulations in current law. Those rules include the ACA’s requirements for coverage of specific health benefits as well as bans on insurers charging sick people more and limiting out-of-pocket costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate leaders offered to spend more money on people who could be adversely affected by the insurance changes, including an additional $45 billion to combat opioid abuse, but moderates said it does not solve the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s money,” Collins told reporters, “but too many uses for that money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats remained steadfastly opposed to the measure. “The meat of this bill is exactly the same as it was before, and in some ways, they’ve somehow managed to make it even worse,” said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if leaders round up the needed votes, there are still a number of obstacles between this draft bill and President Donald Trump’s signature.

The five-year pilot program allows local governments to pay for support services, but not actual rental costs, through a matching grant from Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers are now hoping to take the program a step further, and fund rental assistance for vulnerable Medi-Cal recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really think that housing is health care,” said Maria X. Martinez, who is running the Whole Person Care pilot in San Francisco. “There’s a small number of homeless folks who are not only very poor, they’re very sick, either from living on the streets for so long or maybe their illness precipitated their homelessness.”\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”OJIO66ohKoFH8HlklOnc7mRoHCaUe7dk”]\u003cbr>\nThe program could save taxpayers money by treating people early on, so they won’t end up requiring expensive emergency room care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Counties and cities are planning to use the $1.5 billion of matching funds in a variety of ways — from creating a tool to evaluate the health of residents on the street and share that data among service providers, to boosting services to help the homeless find and stay in housing, In Alameda County, the grant will bring the total supportive housing slots in the county from 2,000 to 3,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It means that the newly housed homeless like Daniel Yapo can get help from local providers such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.abodeservices.org/\">Abode Services\u003c/a> that extend beyond traditional medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like they enveloped me and took care of me,” Yapo says. “They took me to a lot of activities that I might of missed when I was a child. Simple things like movies, beach, plays, creative writing classes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latter seems to have paid dividends for Yapo, who eagerly recited a poem he wrote entitled “Careful What You Wish For” about his journey out of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/Yapo-Poem.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/Daniel-Yapo-800x600.jpg\" Title=\"Daniel Yapo Reads ‘Careful What You Wish For’\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Services around supportive housing aren’t new, but the idea of paying for them with health care dollars had traditionally been rejected by the federal government. That changed when the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approved California’s waiver to create the program in 2015. Other states, including New York and Washington, are taking a similar approach with federal waivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Homelessness is considered a social determinant. It’s not really health related,” said Sharon Rapport, associate director for California policy with the Corporation for Supportive Housing. “But it is health related in that when somebody is homeless, they are going to experience health conditions, even if they were healthy before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rapport said that state health officials were unable to convince the Obama administration to use Medicaid dollars to actually pay the rent of homeless Medi-Cal recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government was really nervous about doing that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, participants in Whole Person Care will have to rely on a variety of categorical funding sources to pay rent, from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, to state sources like the Mental Health Services Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a doughnut,” said Dr. Kathleen Clanon, who is leading the Whole Person Care pilot in Alameda County, adding there’s a need to fill the “hole in the middle of our doughnut.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11540913\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11540913 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25439_20170515_StateCapitol_Assemblymember_DavidChiu_credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asm.

"content": "\u003cp>The Senate vote on the health care bill has been pushed back, but it still has a lot of people in the nursing home industry worried. About two-thirds of nursing home residents are paid for by Medicaid. And the Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/52849-hr1628senate.pdf\">found\u003c/a> that the Senate health care bill would cut Medicaid by more than $770 billion over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean trouble for people like 88-year-old Betty Redlin. She's lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://victoriacarecenter.com/\">Victoria Care Center\u003c/a> in Ventura, Calif. for about 2 1/2 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She explains that she fell and broke her hip and never regained her ability to walk. \"I was living with my granddaughter,\" she says, \"and my doctor won't [allow] going back to her place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty had a career as a bookkeeper. She also raised three children. Now she's spent everything she had. There's no way she could afford the roughly $80,000 a year this nursing home costs. (That fee is pretty standard for nursing homes.) So it's Medicaid that enables her to stay here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's nothing I can do about it,\" she says. \"It's gotta be [Medicaid] or [I'm] out on the street. One or the other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/534764940/534764941\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Gardner, executive director of the Victoria Care Center, says that most of the long-term care residents like Redlin are on Medicaid or, as it's called in California, Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at what it costs to provide that service and what we get from Medi-Cal, we're actually losing a little bit of money every day on that.\" He says they make up the difference with short-term residents who have Medicare, which pays more than Medicaid does. Private pay patients also pay more than Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gardner says he's an optimist. Whatever Congress does, he doesn't think that Victoria Care Center would close down, though there might have to be cuts in staff and in the costs of food and supplies. Also, Gardner says that Victoria Care Center is part of a chain of 200 facilities, which could cushion the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is as optimistic as he is. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Health Care Association\u003c/a> (AHCA), a national trade group for nursing homes, the current Senate bill's cuts to Medicaid could mean that a typical nursing home would eventually run deficits of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. James Gomez is the CEO of The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahf.org/\">California Association of Health Facilities\u003c/a>, the AHCA's California chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"mrVakER0R6f0AToNbkAK83dprja2VTaO\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can't break even or make a few dollars, you're not going to keep running your business,\" says Gomez. And that could lead to closures. \"So access [to nursing home beds] will become a huge issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The repercussions of cuts and closures would be felt across the nation's health care system, says Katie Smith Sloan, the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadingage.org/\">Leading Age\u003c/a>, which represents non-profit nursing homes and other services for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who are in nursing homes are there because they need the kind of services that a nursing home provides\" says Sloan. \"Without those services, they'll be forced to get that kind of care in a hospital, which will simply increase costs to Medicare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reining in Medicaid has been on conservatives' to-do list for a long time. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/paul-ryan-has-wanted-to-reform-medicaid-since-his-frat-days.html\">dreamed of it\u003c/a> since his college days. Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in health policy studies at the conservative \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/\">Heritage Foundation\u003c/a>, argues that the program isn't being used as intended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want Medicaid, which was a program designed for the poor and the indigent, to become a kind of backdoor mechanism to establish a middle class entitlement for long-term care? Medicaid was never really intended to do that,\" says Moffit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill is likely to change. But leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that Medicaid cuts will still be part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

About two-thirds of nursing home residents are paid for by Medicaid. And the Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/52849-hr1628senate.pdf\">found\u003c/a> that the Senate health care bill would cut Medicaid by more than $770 billion over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean trouble for people like 88-year-old Betty Redlin. She's lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://victoriacarecenter.com/\">Victoria Care Center\u003c/a> in Ventura, Calif. for about 2 1/2 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She explains that she fell and broke her hip and never regained her ability to walk. \"I was living with my granddaughter,\" she says, \"and my doctor won't [allow] going back to her place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty had a career as a bookkeeper. She also raised three children. Now she's spent everything she had. There's no way she could afford the roughly $80,000 a year this nursing home costs. (That fee is pretty standard for nursing homes.) So it's Medicaid that enables her to stay here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's nothing I can do about it,\" she says. \"It's gotta be [Medicaid] or [I'm] out on the street. One or the other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Private pay patients also pay more than Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gardner says he's an optimist. Whatever Congress does, he doesn't think that Victoria Care Center would close down, though there might have to be cuts in staff and in the costs of food and supplies. Also, Gardner says that Victoria Care Center is part of a chain of 200 facilities, which could cushion the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is as optimistic as he is. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Health Care Association\u003c/a> (AHCA), a national trade group for nursing homes, the current Senate bill's cuts to Medicaid could mean that a typical nursing home would eventually run deficits of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. James Gomez is the CEO of The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahf.org/\">California Association of Health Facilities\u003c/a>, the AHCA's California chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can't break even or make a few dollars, you're not going to keep running your business,\" says Gomez. And that could lead to closures. \"So access [to nursing home beds] will become a huge issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The repercussions of cuts and closures would be felt across the nation's health care system, says Katie Smith Sloan, the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadingage.org/\">Leading Age\u003c/a>, which represents non-profit nursing homes and other services for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who are in nursing homes are there because they need the kind of services that a nursing home provides\" says Sloan. \"Without those services, they'll be forced to get that kind of care in a hospital, which will simply increase costs to Medicare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reining in Medicaid has been on conservatives' to-do list for a long time. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/paul-ryan-has-wanted-to-reform-medicaid-since-his-frat-days.html\">dreamed of it\u003c/a> since his college days. Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in health policy studies at the conservative \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/\">Heritage Foundation\u003c/a>, argues that the program isn't being used as intended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want Medicaid, which was a program designed for the poor and the indigent, to become a kind of backdoor mechanism to establish a middle class entitlement for long-term care? Medicaid was never really intended to do that,\" says Moffit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill is likely to change. But leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that Medicaid cuts will still be part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

That is really bold,’” Germano says. “I was surprised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board sent a letter to the local Republican congressman, \u003ca href=\"https://lamalfa.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Doug La Malfa\u003c/a>, asking him to vote against the initial GOP repeal and replace bill, because it would hurt local people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an obligation to say something,” says Supervisor David Kehoe. “And if it may be mildly offensive from a political standpoint for some, well, we’re not going to be intimidated by politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Congressman La Malfa still voted in favor of dismantling Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Malfa didn't return calls and emails for this story, but, in May, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/06/what-your-california-representative-says-about-the-gop-health-bill/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told KQED\u003c/a> that skyrocketing premiums were the main driver behind his vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, the reality is that too many young and healthy individuals are deciding they’d rather pay the penalty than sign up for care, citing financial barriers and lack of choice,\" he said in a statement. \"A 28 year old making $45,000 a year with no major health concerns is not going to pay upwards of $400 a month for a plan that does not even work for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When clinic representatives met with La Malfa's staffers, they were told the Congressman's office was flooded with calls like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But poor folks on Medi-Cal didn’t call to say how much they appreciate that program. In fact, clinics struggled getting people to sign up for Medi-Cal, at first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They feel like it's a handout and they're too proud, they don’t want to,” says Carol Morris, an enrollment counselor for the \u003ca href=\"http://mtnvalleyhc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mountain Valleys\u003c/a> health clinics in Shasta county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way clinic workers get around the stigma is to avoid calling it Medi-Cal. Instead, they promote the name of the insurer that manages the Medi-Cal contract in that region. People get a card for \u003ca href=\"http://www.partnershiphp.org/Pages/PHC.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\"Partnership Health Plan\" \u003c/a>and may not realize they’re actually covered by a government program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels like it's more of an insurance,” Morris says. “It’s like a laminated, wallet-sized card that's got your numbers on it. It just looks exactly like an insurance card.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One patient at the Mountain Valleys clinic in Beiber, Kay Roope, 64, knew she had Medi-Cal, and she liked it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It did me good,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now she has a subsidized commercial plan through Covered California, with modest premiums and co-pays, and she likes that, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s okay. 'Cause I’m at the doctor’s at least once a month,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when asked what she thinks of Obamacare overall, she says she doesn’t like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of Obama himself,” she says with a laugh. “I rest my case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The confusion and the contradictions are common among patients, explains Morris, the enrollment counselor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People just don't understand the different names,” she says. “But, of course, it's the same thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morris has seen the difference Obamacare has made for people in the region. She’s seen patients get treatment for diabetes and breast cancer, or get knee surgery that they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those patients won’t fight for Obamacare, Morris says, so that’s why the clinics have to.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
