Thursday, October 17, 2002Oregon received long-awaited federal approval Tuesday to extend Medicaid coverage to 60,000 more low-income residents at no additional cost to the state. The Bush administration's approval was required because the federal government pays more than half the cost of the Oregon Health Plan, the state's Medicaid program for low-income people. [emphasis mine] This is the same state that has a state-sponsored universal healthcare plan on the ballot for November. How on earth do they think they’ll be able to pay for healthcare for all when they can’t even pay for healthcare for the poor and disenfranchised? posted by Sydney on 10/17/2002 07:21:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
