Previously, members of the NGA refused to participate in the commission because the NGA submitted its own recommendations to Congress for changes to Medicaid. Congressional members have also refused to participate in the commission because they had non-voting roles.
In September, the commission released a report with its recommendations for cutting Medicaid spending. It plans to release a set of long-term recommendations in December 2006.
