Medicaid cap repeal gains support

The Insular Area Medicaid Parity Act now has 43 cosponsors and gained the support of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. ASTHO wrote:

“U.S. Territories should not have to rely on supplemental, temporary funding to provide quality healthcare to their residents. Prioritizing this legislation in the 117th session of Congress supports our vision of advancing health equity and optimal health for all.”

ASTHO joins a growing coalition of organizations calling for a repeal of the Territorial Medicaid cap. These organizations include: Equally American, Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations, National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, Catholic Health Association of the United States, National Association of Community Health Centers, Families USA, Hispanic Federation, and Bipartisan Policy Center Action. Thank you for your support of my legislation.
