The following is news from the Office of Congressman Michael San Nicolas:
The Energy and Commerce Committee will be moving forward a bi-partisan solution to territory Medicaid next week, resolving the impending expiration of expanded Medicaid coverage to Guam upon passage and enactment.
"We are thankful for the engagement and support of the Energy and Commerce Committee for our ongoing Medicaid concerns, which we anticipate will be met over the coming 8 years, with an annual 83% federal match and 130 million dollar annual federal funding pool," said Congressman San Nicolas.
"This is in line with our advocacy and a major step towards full Medicaid parity, bringing our expanded federal matching and funding into a full cumulative decade," Congressman San Nicolas added.
"With a bi-partisan effort supported by our Territories we anticipate smooth passage of this legislation into law, an aversion of the Medicaid Cliff, and a sustained improvement in the ability of the Government of Guam to provide expanded healthcare to our community," Congressman San Nicolas concludes.
