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 budget ary policies follow? What legislative
committee is assigned to each part?
How do budgetary changes affect the community?
