No Easy Solution: Effective Medicaid Cost Control
A Panel Discussion
January 27, 2011
A recent report by the Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) found that elderly and disabled beneficiaries comprise fewer than one in four Medicaid enrollees in New York but account for nearly three of every four program dollars spent. Achieving cost savings among this population, while preserving access to high-quality services, challenges the State to develop creative strategies beyond blunt rate cuts. The CBC and New York State Health Foundation convened a panel of healthcare experts to explore the ideas expounded in the report.

State Budget
$209 billion, with State Senator Liz Krueger, E.J. McMahon, and Patrick Orecki
June 30, 2021
$209 billion is the total spending in New York State's Enacted Budget for Fiscal Year 2022. Six months ago, New York State was staring down a four-year revenue shortfall totaling $60 billion—however, revenues have strengthened and the federal government passed a stimulus bill that includes what may be the largest state and local government relief program in history. Still, the State decided to raise taxes, boost education aid, and fund a host of economic recovery programs. Joining the podcast are three guests to discuss what this means for the State's fiscal future: State Senator Liz Krueger, Senior Fellow at the Empire Center and Adjunct Fellow at the Manhattan Institute E.J. McMahon, and CBC's Director of State Studies Patrick Orecki.
