Medicaid protects impoverished children ordsprog

Medicaid protects impoverished children, the frail elderly and people in crisis, ... Its limited resources will be further stretched serving hurricane victims. Proponents of Medicaid cuts either undervalue Medicaid assistance or underestimate American compassion.

I find hard to believe we are having this hearing today to consider $10 billion in cuts to Medicaid, ... Survivors of Hurricane Katrina are now scattered across the country and in need of significantly more Medicaid resources than they did before.

Clearly, the number of dollars required in Medicaid, very stretched already, will increase. It would be amazingly callous, and to me, unconscionable if they insist on these Medicaid cuts.

Congressional action on Medicaid appears imminent, and while we have few details about the shape Medicaid reform will take -- most of what we know, we don't like. We appreciate that policy makers have worked diligently to find appropriate ways to reform Medicaid; however, we fear that billions of dollars in cuts are being targeted at the Medicaid benefits that support our nation's most vulnerable citizens. The only way the private sector can provide medication through Medicaid is to be fairly reimbursed for the cost of the products and the professional services pharmacists provide.

It would be immoral to subject the Gulf State's Medicaid reductions at a time when their Medicaid burden is greater than ever, ... It would be unreasonable to go forward with funding cuts for a variety of other states that will be asked to absorb evacuees. This bill would save Alabama alone $55 million in lost federal Medicaid funds.

He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring. Missouri could make huge strides by adopting a state version of the Federal False Claims Act. Millions now wasted by (Medicaid) provider fraud would be available to provide health care to low-income Missouri parents, the elderly and those with disabilities. In 2005, approximately 90,000 low-income Missourians lost their health insurance due to cuts in the Medicaid program.

My understanding from the state of Texas is that although Medicaid funding will be available for the victims, there will be no waiver of the state match of Medicaid funds, which is about 39 percent.

Community pharmacy has worked with state Medicaid
programs to help implement cost savings and provide quality health care
-- helping save tens of millions of dollars for states and the Federal
Government, ... Community pharmacy has been particularly successful in
increasing the use of lower-cost generic medications. That is why we
strongly believe that a critical ingredient in achieving Medicaid
savings is the establishment of a new system that encourages generic
drug dispensing to Medicaid recipients. We can help Congress achieve
Medicaid savings if they will partner with community pharmacy instead of
making ill-advised budget cuts that will jeopardize patient access.

The Medicaid Reform Act of 2006 recognizes the fact that Oklahoma has a broken, outdated system. In talking with Oklahomans, we've found that the Medicaid program is plagued with a lack of access to care, a lack of health literacy, and no incentives for Medicaid consumers to use the program wisely.

More people living with HIV/AIDS get their health care from Medicaid than any other federal program. Cuts to Medicaid and increased user costs for Medicare recipients will have an enormous ripple effect on HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs designed to serve as the payer of last resort.

Our children in poverty are eligible for Medicaid if their parents have signed them up. A routine physical may be a money issue for some people, but we have the Delaware Healthy Children's Program that supplements Medicaid for families within 200 percent [of the $19,350 that has been set as the poverty level for a family of four]. It's one of the most generous in the country, and kids who are eligible get free medical services.

A successful Medicaid prescription drug program needs the support of America's 55,000 pharmacies and nearly 150,000 pharmacists who work with Medicaid patients every day. There are many ways to protect the financial future of the Medicaid prescription drug benefit without jeopardizing the future of community pharmacy.

The Medicaid waiver is the selling out of our $4.6 billion Medicaid program to private, out-of-state HMOs.

I think they'll get better care because I think most of us in private health plans do get better coverage than Medicaid enrollees, even if on paper, Medicaid looks better,
