“Congress is currently resisting” new Medicaid regulations that “attempt to check … in a Big Con that everyone acknowledges”: states “have been goosing their economic arrangements to maximize their federal payout and dump more of their costs onto taxpayers nationwide,” the Wall Street Journal writes in an position statement. According to the Minutes, “Congress promptly forbade enforcement of the supplementary regulations” and “wants to extend” a moratorium on them “until President Bush leaves office,” which would allow states to “revert to their con artistry, conspiratorial they are no longer being watched.”
The Documentation writes that an “alternative would be to the government to distribute block grants, rather than a set fee for every Medicaid service,” which would “amputate Washington from stately accounting and keep apart taxpayers from these shakedowns.” The editorial adds, “States would receive an incitement to spend more responsibly and also know-how innovative policies without Beltway micromanagement.”
The essay states, “In the short term, Congress could — but probably won’t — tolerate the administration to close this chest.” The List writes, “No sole really knows how much the stage grafters be dressed already grabbed,” but according to the Congressional Budget Office, the new rules would save $17.8 billion over five years and $42.2 billion above a decade. The Journal concludes, “We realize this is considered a sheer gratuity in Washington, but Medicaid’s money laundering is back evidence that Congress isn’t bad about spending discipline” (Wall Street Journal, 5/19).
