No argument there, but having a government entity involved, federal, state, or otherwise.....it’s problematic. Implemetation of a government plan invites corruption and poor care.

How do you square your comment:

“Let’s get it away from the Feds and keep moving it back to the people.”

with the stated purpose of Perry’s proposal:

“there’s a surprisingly high level of agreement on what the waiver would do: bring in more Medicaid dollars to Texas.”

Not only is government best when it governs least, it governs best when its closest to the people.

Call this, roundabout federalism. Rick Perry gets it.

He is currently negotiating a waiver with the Obama administration that would net the state increased Medicaid funding if providers could hit certain performance metrics agreed to by the federal government.

That is not exactly getting the FedMob out of it. That is still playing by their rules.
