Lombardi Medicaid bill clears Senate in Albany
The state Senate approved Lombardi Jr. plan to shift 90 percent of local long term care costs to the state saving counties millions. If enacted five year rollout, Onondaga County could save 8.4 million in 1984 with similar gains across Central New York. The proposal would leave counties funding 10 percent of long term care costs and 25 percent of hospital costs, while the state covers the rest. Governor Cuomo sign fate unclear as Assembly considers a different bill.
