- Summary:
- In just 50 years, Medicaid has evolved from a tiny "welfare medicine" program into the single largest health insurance program in the U.S., thanks to the efforts of an organized, influential interest group-state governors. As Shanna Rose demonstrates, not only has the bipartisan National Governors Association lobbied to defend the program against cutbacks but, enticed by open-ended federal matching grants, the governors have used creative financing mechanisms and waivers to maximize aid to their individual states.
