_Colleges and universities in Missouri could lose about an eighth of their state funding if the governor’s proposed budget for 2013 goes through. We discuss how the proposed cuts might affect the cost and quality of higher education across the state and, in particular, at MU.

The state should look elsewhere for cuts, including in the Medicaid home health program. This program has no internal controls, including no physician input. This has resulted in a massive growth of these expenditures, many of which are not justified but impossible to discontinue given the current program administration. This misuse of taxpayer dollars borders on fraud. I know from personal experience that patients who do not need these services are receiving them and incredibly, there is no way to discontinue the services. Please advise if you are interested in further details, and I will be happy to discuss my experiences with this program with anyone.

What can us (the students) do to prevent the money from being cut? Can we organize a protest?
