May 16, 2017 12:49 PM Advocates urge conferees to use Rainy Day Fund, address Medicaid shortfallA combination of state underfunding and pending congressional cuts to Medicaid with the repeal of Obamacare, they warned, could be devastating The
legislature has only one task it is constitutionally required to complete each
session and both the House and Senate are going into the budget fray with plenty
of instructions. The
House put plenty of instructions on the record for its conferees – Reps. John
Zerwas, Trent Ashby, Sarah Davis, Larry Gonzales
and Oscar Longoria. Those instructions reinforced goals in the House
version of the budget: maintaining border funding; reinforcing the intention to
zero our or end the governor’s incentive programs; supporting marketing funds
for the Healthy Women’s Program; and ending the use of Medicaid
funds on abortion, among others.
