AHA Pushing for Extension of Medicaid Assistance to States
The American Hospital Association is continuing its efforts to lobby Congress to extend the increased federal matching funds for Medicaid enacted last year as part of the economic stimulus package. Although the program is not set to expire until the end of the year, AHA is calling for lawmakers to approve the extension now to help states and hospitals prepare for the upcoming fiscal year.
