    NEWS RELEASE
    State Rep. Jim Abeler Responds to Early MA Expansion
    “MA expansion undoes reform, relies on unsustainable funding.”

    ST. PAUL—State Representative Jim Abeler (R-Anoka), Chair of the House Health and
    Human Services Finance Committee, responded to Governor Dayton’s signing of the
    early MA expansion under the federal health care bill in St. Paul today.

    “I recognize the good spirit with which Governor Dayton has signed this legislation—we
    all want to do what’s best. But when it comes down to the policy, I disagree with
    fundamentally undoing our nation-leading GAMC reform and relying on promised
    federal dollars,” said Abeler, who has played a key role in many of the health care
    reforms of recent years.

    “Our state has been victimized by promised federal dollars in the past. As we speak, the
    federal government owes Minnesota a half-billion dollars in special education funding,
    costs now borne by school districts and property tax increases,” said Abeler. “Rather
    than undoing reform and relying on the feds, let’s take this challenge head-on. We can
    build on our past efforts and forge creative solutions that both reflect reality and keep our
    promise to the people of Minnesota,” said Abeler.

    Abeler expressed his commitment to develop fair, sustainable health care solutions. He
    discussed the need to create patient-centered reforms for affordability, quality and value
    in the health care marketplace.

    “Health care is a large part of our state budget and an important concern for Minnesota
    families. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues of both parties, the Governor
    and citizens on this critical issue. I’m confident that with an honest, positive approach
    we can develop solutions to redesign government, save taxpayer dollars and deliver
    results for Minnesotans.”
