Better than Stephanopoulos w/Larry Summers: Berkowitz w/ IL Guv candidate Doug Whitley on cutting healthcare, education and pension costs.
Doug Whitley [2010 Republican Primary Candidate for Illinois Governor]:… I want it fully reimbursed, I want to pay in a timely manner and I only want to pay for programs we can afford… that means we have to go back and re-evaluate every [State] program that’s currently being offered to see if any of them can be scaled back to match what we can reasonably afford.
Jeff Berkowitz: So…John Tillman, Chairman and CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute said [on this show], [currently,] in Illinois people can have family incomes four times [400% of] the poverty level …about $80,000 for a family of four—[and still get Medicaid, Tillman] wants it to be more like 100%, more like $20,000 for a family of four
Doug Whitley: Right.
Jeff Berkowitz: In other words, if your income is above $20,000 [for a family of four], no Medicaid for you, you have to figure out how to do it [on your own]. Would you go along with Mr. Tillman on that, assuming I got his position right.
Doug Whitley: Yes, I would.
