As you may be aware, the Affordable Healthcare Act, also known as ObamaCare, gives each state the option to expand Medicaid coverage to lowincome citizens currently not covered by Medicaid. However, within two years, state government will have to cover at least 10% of the cost of the
program. Now I am going to read two points of view and after hearing both tell me which one comes closest to your own point of view. (ROTATE)
(SOME/OTHERS) say that state government SHOULD expand Medicaid to cover more low-income citizens. WHILE
(OTHERS/ SOME) say that state government SHOULD NOT expand Medicaid because the increased cost will result in either higher taxes or more cuts
to education.
