Gov. Doug Ducey is giving Congress a road map of what he says needs to be done, both immediately and later, to repeal and replace the federal Affordable Care Act.
In a letter to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the governor reaffirmed the stance he took earlier this month that outright repeal of “Obamacare” is not an option. That would leave Arizona and the rest of the country with an unacceptable system, he said.
Potentially more significant, Ducey urged Congress to maintain the existing federal subsidies that enable individuals with limited income to get federal help paying their insurance premiums.
