“The chart does not show any offsetting. It shows a total cost increase of the new Medicaid mandate. I think the Senator is trying to imply there may be some savings for some areas if a State had a lot of catastrophic and the Federal Government were going to pick up 100 percent of that cost, I guess. That may be correct, but it does not have a column that shows that. Maybe if we would have had a little more time--the answer is no. I ask my colleague, though, since CBO did some work for the Senator, did they do a State-by-State analysis on what the impact of the State of Oklahoma would be?”
