  • Bobby Jindal wrote an op-ed in Forbes on August 25, 2015, arguing that Obamacare had made healthcare “unaffordable” and Scott Walker’s healthcare proposal would contribute to the problem. “Governor Walker’s refundable credit from cradle to grave for every American is not only a new federal entitlement program, but it guarantees that the government pays for health insurance. Any guarantee that everyone will have government funded health insurance will increase the cost of healthcare, because when government guarantees spending, the system will charge as much as possible to meet the supply,” Jindal wrote.[2]
  • In an interview with Newsmax TV in August 2015, Jindal said Obamacare should be replaced with “a system of ‘cross-state purchase of insurance so you have more competition,’ an ‘expanded access to medical and health savings accounts and wellness accounts,’ and a ‘crackdown on frivolous lawsuits.’”[3]
  • In 2014, Jindal announced his proposed plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. According to The Wall Street Journal, the plan "would create a grant program giving states incentives to find ways to lower premium costs while guaranteeing access to insurance for people with existing conditions. Mr. Jindal says the grant money, $100 billion over 10 years, would be raised by making changes to medical-malpractice law and from other sources."[4]
  • In 2013, Jindal opposed Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.[5]
