Abstract
Incorporating these suggestions would necessitate a significant commitment of funds and other resources on the part of federal and state governments. This level of commitment is necessary if children with chronic conditions from low-income families are to receive appropriate care and their sponsors receive fair value. However, attending to the suggestions made in this commentary—while necessary—will not automatically assure that chronically ill children receive the services they need. All too often the emphasis of Medicaid managed care is on managing costs rather than managing care. It is only through a more enlightened perspective—one that places a greater emphasis on what is best for children and a lesser emphasis on what is best for budgets—that chronically ill children will receive the care they deserve.
