DON'T KNOW / UNDECIDED (DO NOT READ)
As you may be aware, the Affordable Healthcare Act, also known as ObamaCare, gives each state the option to expand Medicaid coverage to low-income citizens currently not covered by Medicaid. However, within two years, state government will have to cover at least 10% of the cost of theprogram. Now I am going to read two points of view and after hearing both tell me which one comes closest to your own point of view. (ROTATE)
(SOME/OTHERS) say that state government SHOULD expand Medicaid to cover more low-income citizens. WHILE(OTHERS/ SOME) say that state government SHOULD NOT expand Medicaid because the increased cost will result in either higher taxes or more cuts
to education.
