3 thoughts on “Medicaid changes could have big state impact

  1. This appears to be a good opportunity to create a partnership with taxpayers, those needing health care and the state government. I do laud Governor Holcomb’s premise of attempting to have “skin in hte game” for those needing healthcare and without making it too ornereous for folks who need health support to have tax-based access. But we need to accompany that effort with a means to assure that abuses in the system are minimized with reasonable requirements. Of course, that’s the key as “reasonable” is a tough term to accomodate across the board, with both democrats and republicans alike working together to improve healthcare across our citizenry while managing the costs.

  2. “The escalating costs have alarmed some policymakers, especially conservatives, who say it is unsustainable”. You know what else is unsustainable? Cutting taxes for the very wealthy and ballooning the deficit – so clean up Medicaid by all means but how about an honest discussion about why there might have be a lack of funding.
