The Safety-Net Association of Pennsylvania has asked Pennsylvania’s General Assembly to restore all funding for Medicaid ob/nicu, burn center, and critical access hospital payments and not to increase current hospital assessments in Pennsylvania’s FY 2017 budget.
In SNAP’s view, maintaining vital Medicaid funding is critical to ensuring that hospitals in general, and safety-net hospitals in particular, can deliver quality health care services to the state’s growing Medicaid population while also investing in innovative ways to improve the quality and efficiency of health care for all Pennsylvanians.
