...40 States Forfeit Health Care Funds for
Poor Children...


If one were to look hard enough, it would seem likely that these Federal funds come with several kinds of mandates, regulations and ropes attached, along with the possibility of added state matching funds needed. A couple of months ago there were published stories that indicated that the Clinton Administration was primarily responsible for the states not having been able to use the funds. I have no other information on the details.

Regards, Don

Yes CB. With 40 state screwing-up no doubt a few Democratic governors have been snagged. It's all much worse than I originally thought.

So much for your agrument that states are perfectly capable of providing these services to citizens. They're not even capable of keeping their hands on the money after three years.

So much for national goals, uniformity of application and fairness...So much for the New Federalism.
