A good read on what Scott Walker is up against with the budget deficit and one place to save.
Richard Moore:
Medicaid is a behemoth for any number of reasons – the recession among them – and the new federal health-care law, if it stays intact, will make it even more of a monster. But also among the reasons Medicaid’s shortfall is so drastic is that it is too generous.
Democrats like to pounce on such pronouncements as proof that people who make such statements are heartless political beasts who care nothing about the welfare of the poor.
It is no such thing, of course; what it is is a statement of reality."
And This.
Dennis Smith, Wisconsin’s new secretary of Health Services, said it best in a Jan. 26 budget hearing in Washington: “The best solution to ease the tremendous pressures on state budgets is to get people back to work,” Smith testified.
A must read.
