On behalf of: Kent County Delegation
Committee: B (Legislation)
Resolved Section(s):
RESOLVED: That MSMS seek federal and state policy changes to increase federal payment to the state of Michigan for Medicaid patient care without taxing physicians.RATIONALE: This legislation asked that MSMS work to make the federal match more favorable for Michigan by changing the methodology used to calculate the rate of federal match received by Michigan. Establishing methodology that is more equitable for all states would result in payments to Michigan that more accurately reflect the overall state of our economic condition. The prospect of additional federal money to fund Medicaid is certainly an effort MSMS should support.
