Yes. (0.00 / 0)

It is, according to CapCon. Worth a look at the comments over there for a serious analysis of how to really make healthcare work, for the same money we pay to have it not work. Go HANNYS!

Spitz has done an interesting thing... (0.00 / 0)

Listened to Fran Mauro last night (FPI) and he pointed out that Steamroller has split the usual coallition that has fought Medicaid cuts for years. On one side are now the unions, Hospitals, and Nursing homes...and on the other are patient advocates. They used to stand arm in arm against Pataki's proposed cuts.

Here's what he's done.

He's proposing a freeze in Medicaid reimbursements and the result is that the providers will have to make up the % or two they normally have gotten with cost cutting measures or fraud crackdown.

BUT...and here's where the sherrif is sneaky...he is proposing an INCREASE in patient benefits and an INCREASE in the reimbursement for providers whose patients lists are 35% or higher for low income patients...so the providers are against it and patient advocates are for it. That hasn't happened like ever...thus the meme of the ad. Putting $ to help patients and not the institutions.

We've got some work ahead of us.
