Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, built into the budget an assumed $389 million in additional federal stimulus money through Medicaid that is in the U.S. House of Representatives health care reform legislation.
But now President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats may try to scale back the president's health care overhaul. The reason is Democrats lost the party's 60th Senate seat needed to cut off debate to push through legislation after Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley on Tuesday in the seat once held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.

That's what happens when you depend on money you don't have. It's not over and won't be for a very long time.

This is bad.

What it seems to mean to me is that if that stimulus money doesn't make it to the kitty, we're going to be dealing with crap again halfway through the fiscal year.
