Optometrist may drop Medicaid after 33 years
City Opticians owner Dr. Robert Sachs considers ending Medicaid care due to state bureaucracy and delays. Walkill Correctional Facility inmates now fill most glasses orders, causing longer waits, limited material choice, and marginal profits. Sachs supports reform to give local providers control, while noting patient hardship and near break-even earnings.

Medicaid cuts spark worry among Onondaga providers
The Herald American reports Onondaga County Medicaid payments total nearly $250 million yearly with four area hospitals and several clinics taking over $120 million in the year ending March 31 1994 and $92 million in the last nine months of 1994. Officials warn state reforms could devastate care and ripple through the local economy as providers like Crouse Irving Memorial Hospital Hutchings Psychiatric Center and Taddeo Taxi outline rising costs and fragile patient access.
