This, unfortunately, could be a trend as state governments (and the federal government) continue to struggle with rising Medicaid costs, and find one solution in the practice of lowering reimbursement rates to providers. At some point, providers will just stop taking Medicaid patients. Of course, then politicians will pass laws forcing providers to keep taking those patients. Then, of course, providers will either get out of the business or, more likely, pass along the costs to their other patients. Health care costs will rise even faster as a result, leading politicians to pass more laws making an even bigger mess.
