State Comptroller John Sharp has
determined that unfair funding
formulas now pending in the U.S.
Congress would cost Gaines County
taxpayers between $3.4 and $3.8
million in federal Medicaid cuts
over the next seven years.
Sharp said, "This unacceptable
legislation asks Gaines County
taxpayers to subsidize the health
care of people in other states. It
would send twice as much money
to a senior citizen in New York as
to a senior citizen in Gaines
County."
He continued, 'True block grants
would help balance the federal
budget and give states like Texas
more flexibility. But this piece of
chicanery isn’t a block grant. It’s
a scheme to lock into place the
unfair funding formulas of the
past while giving distant
bvureaucrats in Washington as.
making a bad system even worse.
Federal bureaucrats will still pull
the strings, but Texas and other
high-growth states will receive
fewer federal funds to comply with
these rules and regulations."
Moreover, he said that New York
and other states with stagnant or
declining populations would see
their federal match funds increase,
while Texas' federal match rate
would remain the same as under
current law.
Both the House and Senate plans
have been approved by committees
and are ready for floor action,
perhaps as early as mid-October.
After that, a conference committee
will work out the final version.

much control as ever over Texas
programs."
Sharp released his opinion in a
county-by-count analysis of the
different Medicaid funding formulas
that have passed committees in both
the U.S. House and Senate and will
soon be resolved by a conference
committee. He said his analysis
showed that the House plan would
cost Texas $4.9 billion over the next
seven years, while the Senate
version would cost $7.7 billion.
The Comptroller said the
proposals offer Texans "a choice
between a bad plan and an even
worse plan." Both would pass the
responsibility and expense for
health care down to local
communities, said the comptroller.
Public hospitals and other health
care providers would have to raise
local taxes, in his opinion, to make
up the difference.
He also said that under both the
House and Senate plans, states
would be required to spend general
revenue funds to receive federal
dollars, much as they do now. Sharp
said, "They’re on the verge of
