Nevada Proposes Slashing Medicaid Services

Yeah, there’s plenty for all in those government systems. 

Nevada officials on Tuesday outlined drastic cuts to the state’s Medicaid program that include plans to ration adult diapers, eliminate denture and hearing-aid programs, and force personal care assistants to buy their own disposable gloves.

State lawmakers learned of the cuts at a committee hearing in which health officials said adult day care programs, vision services and outpatient programs for people with brain trauma would also be cut to slash $109 million from Medicaid costs.

At least they are looking at serious ways to fix their budget deficit.
