(Excerpt)
Suzanne Wikle, associate director of state health policy and advocacy at the Center for Law and Social Policy, said no one could take $880 billion in federal funding out of the system and still provide health insurance to the same number of people covered today.
“Regardless of what you hear about ‘we’re just trying to cut waste, fraud and abuse,’ it’s just not possible at these numbers,” Wikle argued. “We will see people lose health insurance.”
