Former U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie was barred a year ago from transferring almost $1 million in his congressional campaign treasury to his current campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

SA: Congress should help pay for migrants’ health care
This editorial is so full of falsehoods it is difficult to know where to begin….
SA: The federal government has ignored its obligation from the beginning.
And yet, the SA editors will, in a few more sentences, admit the Feds have no legal obligation.
Last year, the U.S. State Department notified the Marshalls and Micronesia that it has “no commitment” to provide medical care to their migrants in the U.S.
Thus demonstrating that the State Dep’t agrees, the Feds have no legal obligation.
At this point, Hawaii spends $120 million a year on health care for the migrants, while the federal government contributes only $11 million.
****Why? Because that is what Rep Neil Abercrombie agreed to.
The Hawaii congressional delegation inserted language into last year’s health care reform act that would have made Pacific island migrants eligible for federal Medicaid and increased federal funding to Hawaii for their health care, but it was dropped from the bill’s final version.

Putting Abercrombie & Aiona in the hot seat, Part 10: Any Regrets?
*snip*
There’s been lots of negative campaigning in this election. So, instead of hearing from the commercials, I thought we’d ask the candidates themselves:
If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would change about how you’ve served the State of Hawaii so far?
Neil Abercrombie says “Yes”. He was on the committee that helped put together the treat with Micronesia. That’s now costing Hawaii millions.
Abercrombie admits, “I wish we could have done something more to see to it that the funding came. It wasn’t for a lack of.
I ended up voting for the bill because it was the right thing to do - but the funding wasn’t there. And I regret that ...very, very deeply and I think that the consequences of that are in front of us right now.”
