Why It Matters
The Senate Budget Committee is convening on August 4 to look at the on-the-ground reality of Medicaid cuts.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has proposed a rule on state directed payments that could require states to restructure longstanding payment arrangements and reduce payment levels for some programs.
The Medicare Rights Center warned on July 27 that HR 1's Medicaid cuts are having disastrous early impacts on state budgets, rural communities, and Medicaid enrollees.
The Hearing
The Senate Budget Committee hearing titled "Hearings To Examine The Reality Of Medicaid" on Thursday, Aug. 4 is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), with Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) serving as Ranking Member.
