North Carolina Connection
Representative David Price, Representative G.K. Butterfield and Representative Brad Miller are both co sponsors of H.R. 5613 Protecting the Medicaid Safety Net Act of 2008. We thank them for their leadership.
Background
This legislation will postpone Center for Medicare and Medicaid Rules that negatively affect people with developmental and cognitive disabilities. H.R. 5613 will postpone enactment of these rules until April 2009.
Tell Them
These harmful Medicaid regulations include a rehabilitation option, school-based administration/transportation and targeted case management regulations.
These regulations will severely affect North Carolinians with developmental disabilities.
Many of these rules go beyond the intent of the Deficit Reduction Act.
These regulations will hurt the state of North Carolina financially.
North Carolina will lose $2.7 billion over the next five years in Medicaid reimbursements.
