New York Governor Kathy Hochul faces criticism for her handling of the state's escalating Medicaid costs. While she attributes the issue partly to federal government policies, critics argue that as governor, she holds significant responsibility for managing these expenses. Hochul's administration has been perceived as reluctant to propose significant cost-cutting measures, opting instead to maintain favorable relations with the healthcare industry, which is a powerful lobby in Albany. As Medicaid spending continues to rise, questions loom over her leadership and commitment to controlling these costs.
Hochul's critics argue that, as governor, she has the authority and responsibility to manage New York's Medicaid costs effectively, not just deflect blame at others.
Despite Hochul's claims of helplessness, she has been criticized for failing to propose her own cost-cutting measures, reflecting a reluctance to confront powerful interests.
