Balancing the Minnesota Medicaid Budget?

When various Dem governors decided to turn their state's nursing homes into defacto death camps, there was a single possible explanation that fit Hanlon's Razor. That they stupidly panicked about overcrowding their hospitals and were too stupid/lazy to arrange alternate care for nursing home patients that were still contagious.

The less charitable explanation was that they were trying to balance the shortfalls in their Medicaid budget by reducing their burden for Long Term Care. At this point Minnesota no longer falls under Halcon's Razor.

Despite the devastating death toll, Minnesota nursing homes are still being allowed by state regulators to admit coronavirus patients who have been discharged from hospitals.

Early in the pandemic, the Minnesota Department of Health turned to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to relieve the burden on hospitals that were at risk of being overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients. Minnesota hospitals have since discharged dozens of infected patients to nursing homes, including facilities that have undergone large and deadly outbreaks of the disease, state records show.

Sounds like they have a final solution to their budget shortfall.
