Stop Disastrous Cuts to Medicaid
in
North Carolina!
December 5, 2011
Greetings!
Contact Nelson Dollar Today! North Carolina lawmakers have changed their minds about finding funds to fill a projected $139 million Medicaid budget shortfall, forcing them to consider making catastrophic cuts to the program.
Unless lawmakers find more money for Medicaid, many adult services, like hospice care and mental health care, could be on the chopping block. The state could also reduce reimbursements to physicians who treat Medicaid patients by up to 20 percent, Lawmakers publicly pledged to help fill the shortfall in October after it became clear that the agency couldn't make the $356 million in cuts required in the state budget. Now state legislators have informed HHS Secretary Cansler that he must find the funds within his departmental budget. His office number is 919-715-0795.
Sincerely, Action for Children North Carolina |
