FRANKFORT, Ky. —“Both Democratic and Republican members of the House recognize our duty to balance the state budget, and I appreciate the strong bipartisan support they gave to the passage of the Medicaid proposal.  This measure will make sure families continue to get needed health care, and that our state’s health care providers can avoid drastic reductions in reimbursement payments.  I strongly encourage the Senate to approve this budget-balancing proposal.”
