AP "the legislation’s cuts to the Medicaid program for the poor and disabled."
From what I read, it is not this simple.
i) some of the funding is being replaced by state block grants, which will allow the states to use the money more effectively.
ii) These are not cuts in the program, they are in the proposed increases.
(This would be like saying that if I plan to only lose 1 pound on my diet this year, instead of 3, then I will have already lost 2 pounds.)
