Blame Cuomo for New York’s Medicaid crisis

When it comes to New York’s latest Medicaid mess, the buck stops with Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Or rather, the buck should stop with him, if only he would enforce his own rules.

Turns out the state’s massive government-run health plan for the poor and disabled, which covers one in three New Yorkers, has been running way over budget for months. And the Cuomo administration secretly finessed the situation by delaying $1.7 billion in payments from late March to early April, thereby shifting the red ink from the previous fiscal year into the current one — while doing nothing to slow the outflow of cash.

...That costly move came two months after the Greater New York Hospital Association secretly donated more than $1 million to the Cuomo-controlled Democratic Party...

Tax revenues in NY are down by billions. A perfect fiscal storm is upon the knuckle scraping Cuomo.

If you like how Medicaid is running into the red, you’ll love Medicare For All.

NYS couldn’t afford the bribe.
