So what the one big beautiful bill did was extend the limits that were on the fee for service side of Medicaid to the managed care side. So Mr. Schneider, does it make any sense to you whatsoever? For every dollar a state spends on a disabled child or blind elderly individual, they get reimbursed $1.33. But for every dollar a state spends on a single childless, working age, able-bodied adult, states get $9 in reimbursement. from a federal government that's $40 trillion in debt. Does that make any sense at all? That disparity to a buck 33 for a disabled child but $9 for some of you in many cases should be working. (04:01–04:27)
