Negron goes further, claiming that his Medicaid expansion is conservative, because it would require a greater degreeof cost-sharing with the beneficiary.
The bipartisan plan unveiled Monday proposes, among other things, an expansionof the H-1B visa program and granting green cards to anyone with an advanced STEM degree from an American university.
And there was a sustained expansionof the higher-education system: the share of working-age adults with a university degree rose from 5% in 1980 to 14% in 1996 and 31% in 2011, a faster increase than in France, Germany or the US. The combination of these policies helped the UK to bridge the GDP-per-capita gap with other leading nations.
