I can guarantee you that if the Medicaid expansion is defunded, the State of California *will* take it to court. That money as well as the taxes that generate that money is guaranteed by the current law, and short of repealing the current law (which cannot be done in reconciliation), it will remain the law. The state of California, amongst others, will sue to obtain the money that the taxes are gathering in order to fund its Medicaid expansion -- and will win. Because the ACA money is *off budget* -- it's a dedicated funding stream from a medical devices tax and from redirecting money from other programs that are similarly off-budget. It cannot be defunded by budget maneuvers.<br />BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
