Call to Action: We Need a 20% Medicaid Rate Increase

State budget talks remain stalled with heated discussions surrounding bail and housing reforms preventing any progress from occurring. The Legislature has now passed two budget extender bills – this week and last – to ensure that over 80,000 state workers continue to receive their paychecks. However, major legislation, including the budget itself, hangs in the balance.

We need to keep the pressure on the Governor and Legislature to do what is right to ensure the sustainability of the State’s nursing homes and assisted living facilities. As budget talks continue it is important that they hear from you directly. We ask that you send this letter to your legislators to tell them that a 20% Medicaid rate increase is critical in order to enable providers to continue to provide essential care.
