The Senate's stimulus version contains 3 relief proposals that would <br /> provide an additional $265 million in federal Medicaid funding to NC, of which $40 million would <br /> offset county Medicaid costs. The House package does not contain any Medicaid relief, although <br /> a recently introduced bill--HR 3414 would provide even greater federal funding to support NC's <br /> Medicaid program. Please find attached a NCACC congressional issue paper that describes <br /> these proposals in greater depth. <br /> <br /> We encourage you and your commissioners to contact your congressional representatives-- <br /> particularly House members--and let them know how critical federal Medicaid relief is to our <br /> counties. Please let them know that any negotiations around the economic stimulus package <br /> should contain either the Senate's version or the House's proposed bill for federal Medicaid relief. <br /> We understand that the delegation should be home for the weekend, to reconvene next Tuesday <br /> to finalize stimulus negotiations, so please contact them as soon as possible. <br /> <br /> As always, we appreciate your attention and help. <br /> <br /> Rebecca Troutman, Research & IT Director <br /> NCACC <br /> 919.715.2893 <br /> <br /> <br />
