They predicted that state officials would be measured and circumspect about participating in the new program, as they had been with previous health care programs for the poor, thereby limiting federal outlays. Upon the program’s inception, however, state officials “rudely jostled their way toward the Title XIX trough, to the increasing consternation of legislators and administrators in Washington” (Stevens and Stevens 2003, 81). The program’s chief architect, fiscally conservative House Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills (D-AR), later called Medicaid the most expensive mistake of his career (Zelizer 1998, 262). He and other lawmakers began drafting legislation to scale back the program almost immediately, but state officials successfully fought off these and subsequent efforts at retrenchment. On several occasions the governors also lobbied for federal policy changes to greatly expand eligibility for the program.","PeriodicalId":236832,"journal":{"name":"Responsive States","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129758784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Known colloquially as Superfund, CERCLA received strong bipartisan support in the Senate and in the House, partly due to a series of high-profile incidents at places like Love Canal in New York and Valley of the Drums in Kentucky. Since its adoption in 1980, however, Superfund has been the subject of considerable controversy, so much so that its dedicated taxes have lapsed twice and its operations came to a “virtual standstill for more than a year” (Patashnik 2000, 162). In addition to being politically unstable, Superfund has been characterized as ineffective, with one observer describing it as “notorious for fostering too much litigation and too little actual cleanup” (Babich 1995, 1520).","PeriodicalId":236832,"journal":{"name":"Responsive States","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121796581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
