Just in case you weren’t paying attention, here’s another describing how the recession is forcing states to make deep cuts to their Medicaid programs. Many of these can only be described as draconian. The people hurt the most are probably single adults without kids, but some states are also looking at eliminating coverage for pregnant women and other populations. States are also looking at cutting services like dental and home care.
And if you’re in California and working on Medicaid issues, you have my deepest sympathies. Your state’s $40 billion budget deficit makes Minnesota’s look like a rounding error.
