Medicaid In Bind With Cuts Hit Alabama Recipients
State Health Officer Ira L. Myers told the legislative budget subcommittee that Medicaid cutbacks stem from a legislative error. The Health Board trimmed funds after a $175.5 million ceiling blocked a conditional boost to $183.7 million, placing nursing homes and hospitalized recipients at risk of losing benefits prematurely.

Medicaid funding debate shows 53.2 million cost in current year
Myers warned the subcommittee that without cuts Medicaid would cost the state 53.2 million this year, five point five million above legislative appropriations. He urged alternatives to avoid eliminating intermediate care nursing home and drug programs, calling that option disastrous. He aims to raise the Medicaid appropriation to 50.6 million as part of a six percent health budget increase and to restore an 854000 county health appropriation cut this year.
