Understanding Medicaid Reform

Just a quick note to let you know that I've asked occasional guest blogger NycWeboy to post here weekly on the healthcare debate, paying particular attention to the issue of Medicaid reform and possible expansion. I thought it would be a nice accompaniment to Tim's Healthcare blog, and I for one could certainly stand to learn more about the Medicaid argument.

Then I can make sense of these fretful articles about governors fighting with the feds over who's going to pick up the check for this expansion. Sigh.
