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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The abuse in Medicaid is huge. 

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