#4 Actually, the O-Team plan doesnt eliminate the Nebraska funds. But rather, it extends the same Medicare funds to all States that qualify thus negating exclusivity. This brings the scheme more in line with the carve outs for the Louisiana disaster relief and the Florida Medicare Advantage exception. In other words, the funds are available to all states all states that meet narrowly defined language that is.
