This is the Federal program to which, now with the new health care law, more than 70 million people will belong in 2014. But here is what the bill also does. According to a Wall Street Journal article on May 20, because of this bill--and as a result of this bill, if it should pass-- States will be limited in their ability to make changes in the Medicaid Program to save money. So what does that mean?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
