Medicaid agency weighs cutting optional drug aid programs
In Columbia the head of the Medicaid agency proposed eliminating a prescription drug program to trim a budget gap. The Ways and Means Committee has approved proposals including higher pharmacist payments and requiring twice yearly requalification for fewer drugs. Bill Prince said all optional services could be cut to meet federal requirements. Rep. Rick Quinn criticized the plan as ridiculous. The agency sought $185 million in funding, with $118 million to cover a budget gap from last year.
