  • During her 2013 State of the State address, Susana Martinez said, "I didn't support Obamacare. But it‟s the law of the land. The election is over and the Supreme Court has ruled. My job is not to play party politics, but to implement this law in a way that best serves New Mexico. That‟s why, last week, I announced we will expand Medicaid to cover up to 170,000 more low-income New Mexicans. It was the right thing to do. It means expanding the health care safety net to more of those in need and moving care from costly emergency rooms into primary care offices. And, it does not jeopardize the state‟s long-term budget outlook. In fact, given our unique population and programs, we can expect revenue increases that offset the cost of providing these services."[1]
