As health care providers await the state's plan to cut $859 million from the Medicaid program over the next two years, many are worrying. <\/p>\n
Louisiana Hospital Association President John Matessino says that Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration must act quickly because a longer delay will mean deeper cuts over a shorter period of time. <\/p>\n
Supported Living Network executive Bruce Blaney wants the Legislature to convene a special session to repeal some tax exemptions, as well as to tap health care trust funds. <\/p>\n
The Medicaid program is funded by a combination of federal and state money, paying for health services for the poor, uninsured, disabled and elderly. The cuts mean an 11 percent reduction from the $7.7 billion Medicaid budget that had been planned for the fiscal year. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
