Federal health officials have quietly ordered Gov. Scott Walker to lift an enrollment cap and expand state programs designed to keep elderly and disabled people out of nursing homes.

Walker made no mention of the order at a news conference he called Wednesday morning to announce he wants to lift the cap. He told reporters only that health officials in his administration have been talking with Family Care providers for months. Together, they have identified $80 million in efficiencies over the next two years that will enable his administration to end the enrollment cap and expand the programs to the 15 counties that currently don't offer them.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported hours after the announcement that the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare ordered him to lift the cap in a Dec. 13 letter. Before the newspaper reported the letter, state Department of Health Services Deputy Secretary Kitty Rhoades was vague and made no mention of the order when asked by The Associated Press whether the federal government had denied the state permission to impose the cap.

When I read the title I would have sworn this idiocy was from tinfoil Dean. But he looks smart in comparison.

Messages left late Wednesday night with a state health department spokeswoman and with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services were not immediately returned. Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie said he didn't have a copy of the letter.

until there is official corroboration, or the actual letter is published, it's a non-story.
