| Medicaid Loophole Return to index of stories... |
A medicaid program that sends billions of dollars for federal health programs to New Hampshire and other states has been saved from the budget axe.

It allows states to bill Washington for half of the higest provider fees, even though they often contract for services at lower prices. When states get reimbursed, they keep the difference. Many wanted the loophole closed because they said many states were abusing it by spending money on tax cuts, new roads and even stadiums. |
