And so I will support this temporary stay to give the administration time to consider ways to meet its goals in a less draconian manner. To be sure. the Medicaid program has been abused. For instance. a CMS Inspector General report found $3.8 million in undocumented services in the targeted case management program. one which is impacted by these very rules. And CMSs regulations would certainly combat instances of waste and fraud. However. implementing a 1year moratorium will give CMS an opportunity to review the regulations and give States and local providers an opportunity to prepare for pending implementation. each knowing that real reform is on the horizon.
