I'm against a reduction in benefits for Medicaid recipients. In fact I would like to see them get more benefits.
BUT
The way the system is currently constructed to move dollars from the fed gov to states and then to beneficiaries, like much of our health care system, is backass halfwards.
States have learned how to arbitrage current laws to increase their receipts (see provider taxes ), insurance companies and their PBMs are still in the middle. Both create a lot of room for cost cuts, not only for taxpayers, but for the entire system
However. Talking about cuts and Medicaid is political suicide. What this really needs to be about is Medicaid Process Simplication.
We need to make changes.
Let's do what needs to be done across all of healthcare. Simplify it. Remove the arbitrage.
Start with the patient, rather from the budget and work down
There is no silver bullet, but there are ways to make improvements and save money
