title: How to shed $11 billion. Questions linger, but some think Medicaid Commission's plan to cut $11 billion from Medicaid will mirror Congress' proposal.
abstract: HHS' Medicaid Commission presented its first proposal for cutting $10 billion from the Medicaid program while still keeping it viable. Questions remain about how well the recommendations will work and some, like John Goodman, left, of the Washington-based National Center for Policy Analysis, said the proposal is a short-term solution for a program that needs a "complete overhaul."
