States Get a Break on Health Costs - Forbes.com

One Can Dream: Forbes says that flush times may be ahead for Medicaid:

Spending on Medicaid, a state-federal partnership, rose by an average of just 2.8 percent in fiscal year 2006, the lowest rate in a decade. Meanwhile, state revenues increased at a 3.7 percent clip.

That's good news for patients, who could see more services covered, and for health care providers, who could conceivably get a raise, according to officials from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Riiiiiight.
