This has given governors and legislatures the flexibility to structure their Medicaid programs based on their populations and budgets. States now determine who qualifies for Medicaid, what's covered by the program and how much doctors and hospitals get paid for taking care...

...think it’s imperative that we make as convincing a legal argument as possible in the case to overturn Proposition 8,” wrote Timothy P. McCarthy ’93, director of the Human Rights and Social Movements Program at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy and a founding member of Barack Obama’s National LGBT Leadership Council, in an e-mailed statement. “Placing the LGBT marriage fight within the context of other historical struggles to overturn similarly discriminatory marriage statutes is a critical...
