David will work hard to ensure that our new public-private hospital partnerships really work for all Louisianians. He'll fight to reform the broken Medicaid program and promote preventative and primary care, which produce better outcomes and save taxpayer dollars.
In the U.S. Senate, David has strongly opposed ObamaCare, Obama's unconstitutional executive orders, and wasteful deficit spending. And he's refused Congress' lucrative ObamaCare subsidy and retirement benefits.
EDWARDS: q @JayDardenne says he would delay Medicaid expansion and receipt of $16B of our tax dollars to submit waiver, delaying care.
DARDENNE: @JohnBelforLA has a ton of promises, but not the experience nor the votes to get any of his proposals through. I can get it done.
EDWARDS: Thanks for pointing out that expanding Medicaid requires no vote. So no reason to stall, hurt citizens and waste tax dollars.
DARDENNE: Placing Louisiana on the hook, under the current ACA rules, is foolish and insolvent.
EDWARDS: Waiver removes flexibility in how to spend the tax $ we won't get for the 18 months you delay.
DARDENNE: Untrue. Waiver that #PutLouisianaFirst gives us a chance to address the issue w/o breaking the backs of the taxpayers.
EDWARDS: Continuing to send our federal taxes to other states while we wait for waiver hurts taxpayers. Not the other way around.
DARDENNE: You're writing a check Louisiana just can't cash in the long run. Those are empty promises, friend.
EDWARDS: End the deception. We are paying the taxes already and refusing the care. That is the real story.
DARDENNE: Edwards wants to accept Medicaid expansion "as-is" coming from DC. I don't. I want to "Put Louisiana First" with a flexible waiver.
EDWARDS: We pay the taxes, and currently refuse to accept them back. Dollars comes from Louisiana taxpayers, not DC.
EDWARDS: @JayDardenne says he would delay Medicaid expansion and receipt of $16B of our tax dollars to submit waiver, delaying care.

EDWARDS: Thanks for pointing out that expanding Medicaid requires no vote. So no reason to stall, hurt citizens and waste tax dollars.
DARDENNE: Placing Louisiana on the hook, under the current ACA rules, is foolish and insolvent. Try putting Louisiana before party.
