Sebelius Claim: Repealing ObamaCare Will Mean Students ‘Don’t Graduate on Time’

‘If you don’t give those 20 million people health care or if you take it away as House and Senate proposals would do, we’re still going to pay more as taxpayer’

EXCERPT:

SEBELIUS: "We pay more because our kids who don’t have insurance aren’t as well prepared to be in school, they don’t graduate on time. So, as a society, you bet the cost is there, but I would say we don’t often count the costs of who’s sitting in jails, who with a little opioid treatments could actually be productive members. Who’s under a bridge in our cities and towns because they need some mental health counseling? Those are costs that we pay day in and day out for uninsured Americans. Isn’t it better to pay those costs and have those costs spread and have people productive and in the workforce and taking care of their own kids?"
