Subject: Slimy idiot in government: Cuomo threatens to reject $6.7B in federal aid in favor of Medicaid redesign Sat Mar 28, 2020 12:02 am
ALBANY — Despite a $6 billion budget gap and new revenue losses posed by New York’s coronavirus outbreak, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is threatening to forgo more than $6 billion in federal aid he says would force him to adjust his Medicaid redesign strategy. The governor this week reiterated that he will not accept the $6.7 billion in enhanced federal Medicaid matching rate (FMAP) funds approved earlier this month because it would prevent him from modifying the state’s Medicaid program as proposed in his executive budget.
