Medicaid May Be Nixon Test in Federal Spending Fight
Washington AP. Medicaid costs for the poor are rising and may become a central issue in the next Congress and a test of Nixon pledges to curb federal spending. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Russell Long and Republican John Williams press to bound costs, while Javits resists cutting federal aid formulas. The program’s federal share is now about 2.6 billion for the current year, 1 billion above previous estimates. Nixon, though quiet on Medicaid, favors more state control of welfare programs. Long signaled his approach after a 500 million dollar slash in federal Medicaid share was approved in the 90th Congress, a move later shelved after a filibuster.
