New Mexico warily studies Republican health overhaul plan

New Mexico’s health care sector is warily studying a proposal by U.S. House Republicans to replace the Affordable Care Act that cut the state’s uninsured rate in half since 2013. New Mexico Primary Care Association President David Roddy said Tuesday that proposed limits on future federal funding for Medicaid could threaten expanded capabilities at community health clinics that rely heavily on federal funding to treat the poor and uninsured.
