I put it here for people that didn't see it there. Plus it was buried in a massive post with 22 links. I think its a big deal with possible tax increases in the future.

From NY Post:

"The Medicaid cost-shift alone is a killer. By smashing the cap on local governments’ share of costs, it imposes the equivalent of property-tax hikes of 7% to as much as 14%.

New York already spends more on Medicaid than any other state except California (which has twice the population) — and Albany is racing to be No. 1: Per the Empire Center’s Bill Hammond, the gov’s plan sought to hike outlays at least 18% over the next three years. "

Not if they see that the thread is updated. Plus, is it really about Medicaid or about Florida?
