Upstate Medicaid plan called rotten deal in budget clash
Budget talks collapsed after Carey and Anderson clashed over adding the Medicaid takeover to the 16.4 billion budget. Lombardi and Stephens warned the plan shifts funds to New York City, harming upstate programs, with projected deficits from 348 million in 1982-83 to 2.7 billion by 1988-89. Critics pointed to federal reimbursement cuts totaling 7.2 billion over seven years and reduced school aid without taxpayer protections. A Central New York School Boards Association opposed the plan, warning districts would bear the burden if funds are diverted to cover Medicaid costs.
