Who is on this committee? Geez, a half hour for public comment doesn't seem very long. Is this just to establish where the situation stands? Who will be attending this meeting? Probably time once again to let our state reps know how we feel about this godawful Medicaid situation.

Watched part of a meeting last week with Democratic senators and the Medicaid staff (Randol and Foxhoven). I wasn't able to watch the whole thing and so far I have seen no video of it. Foxhoven and Randol did a lot of dancing while answering few questions.

All I remember was Liz Mathis and I think Pam Jochum. As I said I watched only a part of the meeting.

I note they said there will be a video of this one.

Can't wait until Rob Sand does a real audit of this joke of an operation. I see Foxhoven has asked for another $100 million. Wonder how much will flow to the MCOs?
