Senators Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Charles Schumer joined GNYHA in writing a letter to the U.S. Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) in response to HCFA's apparent consideration of new regulations that would result in drastic reductions to Federal Medicaid funding for New York. As previously reported, HCFA is considering changing the way it calculates the Medicaid "upper payment limit," which would threaten New York's continued receipt of hundreds of millions of dollars in Federal Medicaid funds. To address these concerns, GNYHA has taken a number of steps, including asking Senators Moynihan and Schumer for their help in convincing HCFA to ensure that any new regulations will not reduce Medicaid funding for New York. GNYHA greatly appreciates Senator Moynihan's and Senator Schumer's efforts to help prevent these potentially harmful changes from taking effect.
