1. WhOSE QUALITY CARE
CAN YOU hELP PROTECT?
All of them.
The federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) is providing needed
financial assistance to state Medicaid programs, allowing millions of
low-income Americans to receive the quality care they need and deserve.
During these tough economic times, when state Medicaid programs are
underfunded and state Governors are asking for federal support, patients
are the first to feel the impact of funding cuts.
CONGRESS: PROTECT QUALITY CARE.
EXTEND FMAP TO JUNE 30, 2011.
