Chamber members:

From Long Island to the Niagara Frontier, New Yorkers are telling elected officials to do something about the high and ever-rising cost of Medicaid. But powerful interest groups are pressuring Albany to keep the status quo, predicting catastrophic results from any restraint in spending.

The Public Policy Institute provides the facts about New York's Medicaid spending in a new series of briefing papers, Medicaid Watch '05. The papers will be issued throughout March, as the Legislature continues its review and action on Governor Pataki's proposed budget.

The third report in the Medicaid Watch ’05 series has been released. Read it here:  2005 Medicaid Watch
