Medicaid reformers should adopt the model of successful welfare reform, as signed by President Clinton. Read my column in the Buffalo Daily Newshere.

John, the "Clinton" model for cleaning up Medicaid would certainly be an improvement. I assume Coburn's "capped allotment" puts a ceiling on the Fed's contribution to the obligations of the states. It is a step in the right direction.
I would hope at some point a voucher program directly to the recipient would be the ultimate answer. In fact, IMO, a tax credit/voucher program should not only replace Medicaid, but Medicare and healthcare reform for the rest of the population as well.
