Medi Cal is the same as medicaid in most states. There is only so much that the federal government will allow states to cut.

I was in Alabama this summer when a RINO governor tried to pass a tax increase. He threatened the elderly in nursing homes saying that the state would have to increase the age limits for admissions therefore some of the elderly would have to leave the nursing homes. People then started questioning the illegal aliens right to health care. It was announced that the feds would not let the state cut medicaid for the illegals.

I think Arnold or McClintock will have this same problem. The only thing that Arnold will be allowed to cut will be the state funded programs such as Healthy Families where the recipients pay monthly fees. It will be interesting to see what the caps are for a 3 year old illegal and a 3 year old American.

Cutting Healthy Families is fricking idiotic.

The moron advising the Schwarzie people in health care needs to ID'd and MO'd! Honestly, I'm fighting mad about this one.

Here's a story from LA Times that should make the story clear. LA Times may be a liberal bird cage liner but when the LA Times prints a story about fraud in Medi-Cal... we should pay heed!

Fraud Fight Found Weak
Although Medi-Cal has tried to attack fraud by adding 250 staff members in four years, the program's efforts are fragmented and hampered by weak management and an incoherent strategy, a state audit concluded Monday. Auditors found that three divisions and several branches within the state's health program for the needy had varying responsibilities for stopping fraud, but they sometimes duplicated efforts or applied different standards when screening health-care providers. The examination of the $29-billion program also faulted Medi-Cal's coordination with the state attorney general's office and state health-care licensing agencies.
