Q & A by Jenny Canfield with Byron Mallott (who will be in Anchorage to launch his campaign on Wednesday morning). This one response says a lot. Question: Do you think Alaska should be open to taking the extra Medicare money from Obamacare? Answer: It’s not Obamacare. it’s the Affordable Care Act, passed by the United State Congress, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. To fight it or to use it as leverage in a larger political game is absolutely inappropriate, in my judgment. I’ll tell you one thing that I believe very strongly has nothing to do with being Democrat or being a partisan person. Even before I thought in those kinds of terms, I always believed that in the richest country in the world, in the most powerful country in the world, that every one of our citizen should have access to health care that keeps them healthy, that makes them better citizens, better able to meet their obligations to family, community and in the workforce. And I believe that passionately. Heres link to the piece in the Juneau Empire. juneauempire/local/2013-10-15/mallott-being-governor-isnt-about-me#.Ul2rbGRASz4
