Idaho Judge Blocks Proposed Medicaid Cuts for Disability Programs

A federal judge in Idaho issued a temporary restraining order on April 28 blocking the state from cutting reimbursement rates for disability programs by as much as 55%. The law suit was brought by 16 Idaho providers who claimed that the proposed cuts would put them out of business, thereby forcing individuals with disabilities out of the community and into institutions.
