As Governor, I watch rising health costs erode the competitiveness of innovative companies and small businesses. And I know that political posturing about the Affordable Care Act is not an approach that will address these problems and move our state forward.
In Maryland, instead of playing politics, we will use the many tools in the law to improve public health and stop the train of run-away costs barreling down on our children’s future and we will measure success by the numbers – how many families no longer have to choose between health care and bankruptcy; how few people are denied coverage when they need it most; and how many more companies are able to provide health insurance and reinvest savings into their workforce to create jobs.
