Medicaid providers talks extended to June 28th

* Tribune…
A deal in a federal case over how quickly the state has to pay down its about $2 billion in Medicaid bills was expected Tuesday.
But Medicaid patients who sued Illinois and state officials are still talking. Now, they’re set to appear before federal Judge Joan Lefkow on June 28.
Whatever the two sides decide is likely to force Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza to cut back on payments for other expenses, which could put her crosswise with state law and state courts and further delay other state payments at a time when Illinois is already sitting on $15.1 billion in unpaid bills.
