Medicaid Cost-Shift to Counties Rejected by Metzger
February 26, 2020
-
ISSUE:
- Medicaid
- New York State budget
A Medicaid cost-shift to county and city governments is unacceptable and will burden already struggling working families with local taxes they cannot afford. I have communicated to the Senate Majority Leader my position that we reject any and all efforts to push the costs of growth in Medicaid programs onto counties."
