It’s only complicated because Republicans refuse to even broach the subject of rolling back the tax cuts they have made. When you are suggesting cutting back spending on the autistic to make ends meet, it’s a sign you may have cut too far.
We aren’t that far from Medicaid being the top item on the spending budget. We really need to evaluate the list of recipients and pare it down. Covid grew it and it needs to shrink. Education should remain our top budget item and our leadership in the world is shrinking in that category.
Previous reporting has the largest line item under Medicaid as long term care for seniors. We already divert some of the federal funding intended for that to build new hospitals and pay salaries to executives at county owned hospitals. The only suggestion I’m seeing from state officials when it comes to modifying eligibility is that we should cut spending on autistic people.
We as a state have given up on education. Whatever increases we dedicate to education don’t even keep up with inflation. We’re more worried about making sure that legislators keep getting campaign contributions from school choice advocates than … actual better outcomes for kids.
It’s painfully obvious – state legislators don’t see a future worth investing in for the state of Indiana.
The population that grew it in COVID have already been removed as of the summer. That’s why all that ads were out there saying “losing your Medicaid due to the end of the public health emergency”. So these numbers they are talking are post a lot of people being already removed. That’s just how many people still post COVID qualify for Medicaid withing federal poverty limits set because people are worse off now. So more qualify.
keep in mind…when you talk about “savings” in Medicaid, you’re talking about one of two things: reduction in benefits to the most needy members of our society, or forcing compensation cuts on providers.
The latter just spreads the cost back to those with jobs and health insurance. Or stops providers from taking on more Medicaid patients. It doesn’t provide a solution for the problem. It just shuffles the deck chairs.
the former? well, let’s ask our Christian LT. Gov what the Bible would have to say about abandoning those most in need…I’m pretty sure it’s not a Christian value, and I hope its not one of those Hoosier Values the Republicans keep talking about…
There, but for the grace of God, go I…
Then, we need to include the fraud factor.
