Medicare Makeover in Missouri?

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Blunt plan would radically change Medicaid," by Virginia Young--

Gov. Matt Blunt is crafting a health care program for the poor that won't look much like Medicaid. In fact, it won't even be called Medicaid.

Tentatively dubbed Missouri Healthnet, the new system would use both carrots and sticks to place more emphasis on prevention and personal responsibility.

Under the working draft, residents would apply for the program over the Internet, use a state rating system to pick their doctor, receive benefits tailored to their health status and reap rewards for good habits.
