Eyeing Presidential Bids, Some GOP Governors Attack Obamacare, Even Though It's Big Money For Their States

Reuters reports how states like Wisconsin, New Jersey and Louisiana have experienced infusions of health law funds despite their Republican governors' staunch opposition to the health law. Meanwhile, a Facebook request by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers asking users to share negative stories about the overhaul led to many positive responses.

Several Republican governors likely to run for president have secured hundreds millions of dollars under Obamacare while working to dismantle the healthcare law, according to a Reuters review of federal spending records. Governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Chris Christie of New Jersey, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and former Texas Governor Rick Perry, all staunch opponents of President Barack Obama's 2010 Affordable Care Act, have collectively applied for and won at least $352 million through grant programs set up by the law, federal records show. (4/1)

[U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers,] the Eastern Washington congresswoman, who has voted dozens of times to repeal all or parts of President Barack Obama鈥檚 signature legislation, asked users earlier this month to share their stories of difficulties with the law, paired with a picture of the president holding cupcakes and looking sullen. ... Instead, many users shared stories of how they benefitted from the law by receiving previously unavailable coverage or seeing a decline in their monthly premiums. McMorris Rodgers said Monday that many of the success stories seemed to be centered on reforms that both parties agreed on, rather than her concerns with the health care package. (Hill, 3/30)

In the meantime, private companies say they have a solution if the Supreme Court upends some health law subsidies --

The Supreme Court case that could upend Obamacare has led to a flood of questions about federal and state back-up plans to keep the law afloat. And private companies are streaming in to say they have the answers. (Pradhan, 4/1)
