CSAC and a wide ranging group of our affiliates continue to
engage on potential federal action on healthcare issues and are
opposed to the bill recently introduced by Senators Cassidy,
Graham, Heller, and Johnson to dramatically change the ACA.
The measure would reverse the significant progress California has
made in reducing the number of uninsured residents by reducing
the amount of Medicaid funding available.
Further, the measure would cap the federal financial
participation in Medicaid and end enhanced federal support for
states choosing to expand coverage, which would undermine county
health systems and services and erode the federal, state, and
county ACA partnership. CSAC will continue to keep counties
updated as discussions on health care reform continue.
