Testimony on NYC Solid Waste Management Practices
Submitted to NYC Council Committee on Sanitation & Solid Waste Management
October 27, 2011
New York is being wasteful in its waste management practices. We could save tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, of dollars without harming the environment by more sensibly managing New Yorkers’ solid waste. An improved system for waste collection and disposal could prevent further reductions in essential services in coming budgets.

Testimony on Reforming Medicaid
Submitted to the NY State Medicaid Redesign Team
January 28, 2011
Savings can be achieved without denying needed care to low income New Yorkers through three strategies: (1) reducing non‐competitive rates paid to institutional providers; (2) rationalizing utilization of services; (3) tightening eligibility rules and practices to curb the misuse of Medicaid by middle and higher income families for long‐term care.

No Easy Solution: Effective Medicaid Cost Control
A Panel Discussion
January 27, 2011
A recent report by the Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) found that elderly and disabled beneficiaries comprise fewer than one in four Medicaid enrollees in New York but account for nearly three of every four program dollars spent. Achieving cost savings among this population, while preserving access to high-quality services, challenges the State to develop creative strategies beyond blunt rate cuts. The CBC and New York State Health Foundation convened a panel of healthcare experts to explore the ideas expounded in the report.
