Developing crisis in MassHealth. Gov. Baker makes cuts.

The MassHealth budget is out of control.  The Baker administration is seeking to limit the number of people on MassHealth/Medicare by eliminating "fraud."  In the past year, according to  MassLive, 250,000 people have been eliminating from the roles.  Homecare Services, provided by the Department of Elder Affairs, has grown by 41% ($178mn) over the past year as the state has been encouraging home care as an alternative to the more expensive nursing home option.  Fraud is suspected.  A moratorium on new health care providers has been declared.

MassHealth is gradually bankrupting the Commonwealth.  What is to be done?  I, for one, don't know.
