Click here to read The New York Times article, “Medicaid Cut Places States in Budget Bind.”
Not only are states expected to be improving their Medicaid systems so about 20 million new patients can be added in 4 years (hopefully earlier in some areas), but we are also trying to build a health care workforce to meet these additional needs. These types of reductions only worsen the existing shortcomings of the entire health system. Congress needs to understand the ramifications of not extending the higher rate assistance to states. The irony here is vast, we can’t tear down and build up at the same time.
