LSU Medicaid Budget Cuts

In a Press Conference yesterday, Governor Bobby Jindal said he is waiting to hear from LSU on how they will handle massive cuts to the Medicaid budget. LSU Health System leaders are crunching the numbers and trying to figure out how to slash nearly $330 million from their budget. The network of charity hospitals treat roughly 20 percent of the state's uninsured. Jindal says he hopes LSU's plan involves big cuts, but not shutting down any hospitals. Lawmakers have said they don't understand how the university-run health care system can shrink it's budget by $329 million this year without shutting facilities.
