Nearly 1,300 elderly and disabled adults like Elvira Tesarek, shown May 2, 2011 taking a walk with CNA Donna Cosimini-Cory at her Warren, Rhode Island home, have been able to leave Rhode Island nursing facilities or avoid them altogether under a pilot program designed to cut spending in Medicaid, the federal-state health plan for the poor. Instead of costly institutional care, Medicaid pays for a nurse's aide, a speech therapist and a registered nurse to visit Tesarek at home to help with her recovery from a stroke. The program's block-grant-like funding has attracted national attention from conservative groups that want to cut state Medicaid spending.
