Kathy Hochul cries wolf on Medicaid ‘cuts’ to cover up her own political abuse of its funds
Opinion by Bill Hammond • 14h

One of the more over-the-top reactions to the possibility of Medicaid budget cuts in Washington came from Gov. Kathy Hochul: “House Republicans have just voted to rip health care away from up to 1.8 million New Yorkers.”

Don’t let her specific-sounding number fool you. That claim has nothing to do with reality.
 
Hochul presides over the most expansive and richly funded Medicaid program in the United States, with per-capita spending 82% higher than the national average.

She could undoubtedly find enough waste and inefficiency in its $123 billion budget to make up for a rollback in federal aid without harming vulnerable recipients.

The abuse in Medicaid is huge. 

The number of wealthy folks getting Obamacare is off the charts.
