Look here to see how Ohio spends 40% of their budget on Medicaid More from James O'keefe Don't die from Laughter because as funny as it is, it is not one bit funny.

There is no doubt Medicaid must be overhauled, abuse reduced, and greater accountability created.

My reason for saying that States should handle Medicaid is because a huge bloated Federal bureaucracy is incapable of policing itself.

A State, being smaller, has a better chance to discover fraud and abuse, keep costs down, then correct its own program. Why? Because voters are closer to the problem in a State and can have a huge impact on State programs via the ballot box. Not so much with Federal programs.

I would wager that 40% number would come down if there weren't stupid and wasteful Federal regulations involved.
