In order for the state to eliminate $2.7 billion in outstanding Medicaid obligations, some lawmakers have suggested a cigarette tax. It is estimated that the tax could generate $300 million in revenue and with matching federal funds, the tax would contribute a total of $700 million to Medicaid. Some favor this option, while others favor additional cuts to the program. Do you favor an increase of approximately $0.98 on cigarettes to fund Medicaid? Yes, I think it we should do what is necessary to reduce Medicaid liabilities.
No, I would rather lawmakers make cuts to programs and service to reduce Medicaid costs.
Neither, another solution should be found.
