"AUSTIN, Texas — In a sharply worded letter to federal officials Monday, Gov. Rick Perry said Texas will not participate in two key programs under the Affordable Care Act, noting that the law recently approved by the U.S. Supreme Court "will find no foothold here."
"Perry said Texas will not expand Medicaid, forgoing an estimated $13 billion a year in federal money from 2014 to 2017, and will not create a health care exchange, an online market that would allow uninsured people to shop for coverage.
" "Please relay this message to the president," Perry wrote to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "Both represent brazen intrusions into the sovereignty of our state." "
