Minnesota Hospital Association Opposes Gov. Pawlenty's Deep Cuts
February 16, 2010
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is proposing to cut $347 million from the state health services budget, including Medicaid, and remove 21,500 people from the state's MinnesotaCare program, according to a release from the Minnesota Hospital Association.
Rather than make such deep cuts in healthcare services, the hospital association proposes:
- making proportionate cuts across all state services;
- leveraging federal Medicaid funding to Minnesota by maximizing the state's share; and
- finding new revenues.
