The Senate is scheduled to vote tomorrow on one of two bills – either the harmful BCRA which includes the Medicaid per capita caps with severe cuts to Medicaid funding or a straight repeal of the ACA called the Obama Repeal Reconciliation Act (ORRA). In both, the mandatory minimum benefits are discontinued and the Medicaid program will suffer severe losses.
The Virginia Senators are both strongly opposed, we are hoping that our provider colleagues in Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Nevada, Ohio and West Virginia can remind their Senators of the damage that either bill will cause!
