Statement by Gov. Rick Perry on future of Medicaid in Texas
Published: Monday, December 6, 2010 1:07 PM CST
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry recently issued the following statement regarding the future of the Medicaid program in Texas:

“The current Medicaid system is financially unsustainable for states and the federal government, as costs increase about nine percent per year in Texas alone. Without greater flexibility and the elimination of federal strings, Medicaid will strangle state budgets and taxpayers as Obamacare and other programs expand Medicaid rolls.

“Texas, the states and the federal government would be much better served by increasing flexibility and innovation in Medicaid, even block granting funds to the states, so we can tailor Medicaid dollars to best serve the needs of Texas patients, families and taxpayers. I have discussed these issues with other governors and policy experts, and will be working on ways to improve the utilization of Medicaid dollars in Texas.”

1. oh yeah repigs got on to it quickly that this was the way to destruct

the little secret in "obamacare"..the way to expand medicaid into something resembling at some point a medicare for all program..repigs want to kill it.

they salivate at all the money they can rake in when private premiums will someday be 20k and medicare and medicaid will resemble some lousy and costly privatized hmo program

there is a real gutter-brain problem with republicans and their Nazi eugenics philosphy
