Feds: Fla. can't expand Medicaid pilot statewide :: The Republic
If this holds it is very good news for Seniors in Florida. This was/is bad legislation. However, people should not consider it over. Governor Scott has stated previously that he is prepared to pull out of the federal system to get this done. That would remove the primary funding source of funding for the aged and disabled. He is buying into a belief that this change will cut costs. There isn't any evidence that this will cut spending. The only other state where there was a reduction did not have a waiver program in place. Florida has a waiver program. Experts agree we will NOT see a reduction in spending.
