The ranks of welfare patients are expected to balloon, but willing providers are in short supply
The ranks of welfare patients are expected to balloon, but willing providers are in short supply
Supreme Court ruled it's optional for states
They give their money to their kids early so they'll be "poor"
Helps avoid public records laws
Physicians are already capping the number of Medicaid patients they see

The state still awaits federal sign-off
And there would be fewer rules binding states
