I wouldn't be surprised if the "cut" in federal health care funding results from the Corbettites making it so hard for eligible people to sign up and to keep their benefits. They have reduced participation rates in many federal programs through increased paperwork requirements. Fewer people receiving benefits means less federal dollars.
