Francis Rooney on Medicaid Cuts: ‘Makes a Lot of Sense’ to Give States More Flexibility

EXCERPT:

ROONEY: "Well, we’re way too far down the road in this country to abandon the safety net to take care of people that are at risk and can’t help themselves. Now, the idea of cutting federal money and maybe replacing it with state money or giving federal money to the states and giving them more flexibility, like has been talked about in the health care bill, I think makes a lot of sense. The principle of subsidiary, that we try to have the problem-solving closest to the people that have the problem."
