Senators Oppose CMS Medicaid Rehabilitation Rules

National Alliance on Mental Illness      November 27, 2007

 

Last week, a bipartisan group of 39 U.S. Senators joined together to
press for a moratorium on regulations that would severely limit the
ability of state Medicaid agencies to fund important services under the
Rehabilitation Option.  

 

The letter was directed to Senators Max Baucus (D-MT) and Charles
Grassley (R-IA), the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Finance
Committee urging them to include a moratorium on the proposed
regulations as part of a package of Medicare reforms the Committee will
consider next week.

 

NAMI is extremely grateful to Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Robert Casey (D-PA)
and Susan Collins (R-ME) for their leadership in organizing this
important effort to stop the proposed CMS regulations.
