On the recordMarch 13, 2008
the budget resolution proposes that Congress delay several CMS Medicaid regulations that are unpopular with states and advocates. I know some people have concerns with the CMS Medicaid regulations. I am not going to argue they are perfect. I have issues with some of them as well. However, the regulations do address areas where there are real problems in Medicaid. States don't have clear guidance and could be inappropriately spending taxpayer dollars. This leads to improper payments and wasteful spending. We see this throughout the regulations in question.
