Florida Senate freezes Medicaid
St. Petersburg Times, March 7, 2008
The Florida Senate has approved a bill that would eliminate special automatic cost-of-living increases in payments to hospitals, nursing homes, county health departments and intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled. Critics say the move may discourage some institutions from taking Medicaid patients as well as diminish care for those who are served by it.
