Health Reform Decision - States' Heavy Stakes
UPDATE: Court on 5-4 vote upholds. Here are experts who can comment --
We have a number of updated quotes on Newsdesk.
The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act will have a dramatic impact on Maryland and all states, say University of Maryland experts.
"Now that the Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Care Act, states will have to figure out how to build exchanges and deal with an expansion of Medicaid costs," says UMD Public Policy Dean Don Kettl."
The State of Maryland has been a leader in setting up insurance exchanges required by the reform law.
Here's a sampling of some UMD experts' comments. Bio and contact information follow in the alphabetical list:
Don Kettl, dean, School of Public Policy: "States have a lot riding on a long-term solution to rising health care costs. The bottom line of a rather terrifying recent GAO report: red ink for the states for decades until health care is solved."
Ken Apfel, professor, School of Public Policy: Currently serves on the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange Board; former Commissioner of the Social Security Administration. "Maryland is one of the leading States in implementing health reform. We are moving full steam ahead to meet our goal of providing health coverage for hundreds of thousands of Maryland's uninsured."
Dushanka Kleinman, associate research dean, UMD School of Public Health; co-chair, Maryland Health Benefit Exchange Board's Finance and Sustainability Advisory Committee: "Maryland has been proactively addressing health care reform for well over the past decade and is well-positioned to continue on that path, regardless of the Supreme Court ruling."
Stephen B. Thomas, director, Maryland Center for Health Equity; professor, School of Public Health: "Racial and ethnic minorities make up more than 40 percent of Maryland's population, and as the numbers grow, the health of the state will be determined by the health status of African Americans and Latinos. Our hope is that by advancing the policy options made possible through health care reform we can close the disparity gap and ensure the health and wellbeing of all Marylanders in the years ahead."
