Michigan Cuts Children's Hospitalization by $45 Million

There are always good and bad sides to every story.

Here you have Michigan leading the charge to reduce the debt and balance its budget on the backs of children.  The logic is quite simple if one only turns on the television.

Masses of people have no qualms allowing for the death of children of the poor if they do not share in the cost of health care of the community.  "No money, no health care, and this includes children."

There is even a movement to have lil' Johnnie start singing for his supper, again.



On the other side of the spectrum, it forces hospitals to change its healing models and focus more on home-based/community-based services for recovery, a Targeted Case Management, uncapped, Medicaid funding stream.

So, in essence, this new Children's Medicaid Inpatient Hospital Reduction Policy promulgates, under the guise of ending the practice of paying for children of the poor's health care, and instead provide more community funding through job creation and small business development in home-based/community-based services for children and their families, improving the quality and delivery of care through competition.
