Without any doubt, I'm convinced that Hillary Clinton represents less individuality, flexibility for the states, a weaker national defense. And you know, for all those reasons, we ought to get behind Donald Trump.
There is a tension between the flexibility we give states and the accountability we require from states.
Expanding a failing, big-government program that reduces flexibility for the states and traps generations of Americans in dependency is not consistent with the kind of conservative solutions that Reagan sought during his terms as governor of California and president of the United States.
All kings of England had ever, in cases of necessity or expediency, been accustomed, at intervals, to elude them [the laws.]
It is necessary and critical for states to have flexibility to determine how to identify and improve schools.
The CHIP program, even if the parliamentarian says nothing else is allowed - and that is a possibility - CHIP, which no state ever complains about, gives a lot more flexibility than Obamacare and allows the secretary of HHS to give waivers.
If governments let themselves be fully bound by the decisions of their parliaments without protecting their own freedom to act, a breakup of Europe would be a more probable outcome than deeper integration.
How about we let the states be innovative on Medicaid and do much better and smarter things?
We're not going to end the Medicaid. We're going to give the governors more control and leeway to bring innovative reforms to make Medicaid work.
I think the thing with Medicare - and a lot of this - I should say, with Medicaid - and this is going to depend - states are going to be in a position to have a lot of flexibility.
We believe we can dramatically improve the way Medicaid works by giving governors more control and flexibility to innovate to make it work for people with low income because it's not working in so many states right now.
Patients would be better off if states were able to tailor the benefits that Medicaid covers - targeting resources to sicker people and giving healthy adults cheaper, basic coverage.
