Medicaid Reform

AIF ENCOURAGES the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to approve the waiver requested by Florida for the implementation of these important reforms. 

Last session, AIF worked diligently to ensure passage of a comprehensive Medicaid reform package designed to slow the hemorrhaging that is occurring with the cost of our current program. The new program is scheduled to be implemented by July 2012. However, delays from the federal government concerning approval of the waiver, that Florida must have to begin implementation, threaten to allow the cost of the Medicaid Program to continue to grow.
