I understand your view if only that is how it could work. I need a special interest group to make it happen and to ensure the recoveries continue to happen. I speak from many decades of hands-on experience.
California racing has provided many tax dollars to the general revenue fund over the years. The industry needs a lifeline to survive and compete. If racing is bringing the solution, racing should participate in the solution. The best solutions leave something on the table for every party.
If I get in front of the Medicaid authorities, I will make the value proposition. I understand the idea may go nowhere if I attached the racing condition. But then again, the solution was going nowhere otherwise.

The issue is that the people in charge of California don’t like Horse Racing. They are completely fine watching it die. The way that they can increase purses is via partnering with most other tracks and creating an ADW.
