On August 10, 2010 the House passed the extension of Medicaid FMAP by a vote of 247-161. The additional FMAP funds will protect vital Medicaid services, such as prescription drugs, dental, vision and podiatric services - as well as community behavioral health funding , to prevent vulnerable Ohioans from suffering devastating health conditions. As we prepare for the implementation of federal health care reform it is more important than ever that our safety net remain intact. Thanks to all who made it possible! It is extremely unfortunate that the money to extend health benefits was taken from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly food stamps). Because the reduction will not happen for a few years, there is still time to work on restoring those essential benefits for families, children and other individuals. Please thank those representatives who voted for the FMAP extension, and tell them that the SNAP benefit must be restored! |
