If cuts to Medicaid and Medicare are on the way.

how will this affect plans in any of the states to attempt a single payer approach?

1. They're not.

With the probable exception of cuts to some Medicare supply providers, which isn't significant.

3. First off, I used the word if. Second, I know Medicaid cuts are coming

next month in my state and so therefore assumed other states as well.

2. Are they on their way? Please demonstrate it

with reliable links. (Reliable means confirmable facts and named sources, BTW)

5. It can come from passing the Super Cmte recs or the triggered medicare provider cuts

which will affect beneficiaries who can't see their doctors anymore...

6. Yes and the reason of my post had to do with any amount of cuts

in funding going into a state's budget which a single payer revamp would depend on. My question had to do with any continencies in their funding approach. Guess I have to figure out a way of asking something that gets through the quick draw posting police.

4. Hopefully someone without a political agenda will give a perspective

if federal or state funding is reduced at some point.
