Sebelius pitches Obamacare in Atlanta | www.myajc.com

The Obama administration’s top healthcare official said Monday she is eager to work with states experimenting with new ways to improve access to health care for millions of low-income Americans.

Speaking in Atlanta, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius cited Arkansas and Iowa as two states exploring innovative ways to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

Expanding the government health program for the poor is key to the health law’s aim to provide health coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans.

“No one’s health care should be determined by their ZIP code,” she said. “This is no longer a political debate. This is what we call the law.”

She addressed hundreds of state lawmakers from across the country attending the the National Conference of State Legislatures’ annual legislative summit this week in downtown Atlanta.
