· Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital Rates (DSH) (Amendment #751; Rep. Torrisi) - This amendment would maintain the supplemental DSH add-on rate for hospitals providing a disproportionate share of care for low-income Medicaid and Medicare patients.
· Fairness for DSH Facilities (Amendment #449; Rep. Kane) - This amendment would ensure fair private insurance rates - at least the statewide average rate - for DSH health systems.
· CommCare Bridge Program Funding (Amendment #750; Rep. Toomey) - This amendment restores funding for this program providing healthcare access to many of our patients. This program is a critical source of payment for many facilities where 1199SEIU members work
· 1199SEIU Quality Nursing Home Care Initiative (Amendment #464; Rep. Sanchez ) - This amendment would provide supplemental funding for nursing homes that engage in cooperative efforts with employees through which workers have a voice in improving care delivery.
· PCA program funding - We should thank our Representatives for including full funding for the PCA program in the budget and encourage them to make sure it is in the final version of the state budget.
2.) After your call, please dial 617-284-1152 to let the 1199SEIU political action team know whether your State Representative was supportive of your request.
