Write a 1,750- to 2,000-word budgetary analysis that considers
the following issue:
Medicaid is an entitlement program based on specific criteria and
income levels, which means it is a mandatory program that must
be provided in each of the states. Traditionally, both the states
and the federal government together pay for the program. In
times when the U.S. economy suffers challenges, such as high
rates of unemployment or when a major crisis like Hurricane
Katrina occurs, more individuals and families become eligible for
Medicaid. This forces states to make difficult budgetary decisions,
like shifting dollars from programs that are not mandatory, such
as K–12 school funding, into Medicaid Match dollars.
Answer the following questions in your analysis:
What process do budgetary policies follow? What legislative
committee is assigned to each part?
