Ah, now I see, I think you are confusing two entirely different topics regarding healthcare reform.

One proposal made (but not strongly supported, and I think it's off the table) is to expand Medicaid to be more inclusive, and pick up more people (lessening the number of uninsured that will have to be covered by other parts of healthcare reform).

The second is how the healthcare reform bill overall costs will be paid for, which involves savings from waste in Medicare.
