Nevada’s Republican governor is laying into President Donald Trump for scrapping a key provision of Obamacare.
A consistent critic of the Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Gov. Brian Sandoval was unsparing in detailing the consequences of the White House’s decision to eliminate Cost Sharing Reductions — key payments that allow health insurers to better afford coverage for the sick and keep premiums lower.
“It’s going to hurt people. It’s going to hurt kids. It’s going to hurt families. It’s going to hurt individuals. It’s going to hurt people with mental health issues. It’s going to hurt veterans. It’s going to hurt everybody,” Sandoval told the Nevada Independent on Friday. “And so this is something that I’ve been very supportive during my administration in terms of expanding health care and making sure that people have access to affordable health care and I’m going to continue on that path.”
Sandoval was the first Republican governor to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, and he emerged as one of the most important roadblocks in the Republican attempts to repeal Obamacare. (Vox’s Dylan Scott called him “the most important person in the Senate health care debate.”) His role was particularly consequential because Dean Heller, his state’s Republican senator, openly waffled on whether or not he would support the GOP replace bill — in large part because of Sandoval’s opposition. (Heller wound up voting for one of the bills to repeal Obamacare, though he voted against the two most extreme versions.)
