Medicaid Cuts The federal agency charged with administration of the Medicaid program is attempting to make severe cuts in the program that provides Medicaid reimbursement for school administrative and transportation services. These services are provided for some children in special education programs and others who cannot afford medical insurance. Elimination of this federal reimbursment will result in dramatic cuts in the ability of schools to provide health services. I strongly oppose these cuts. (Please include any comments in the box provided, including your state.)

THESE KIDS NEED HELP. dont punish the schools for trying to do the right thing for kids who cant afford doctors on their own.

NY. Schools are already struggling with budgets as it is. This is only going to hurt the most vulnerable students.

fixing the budget by taking health services from children is a bad look. find the money somewhere else
