The House Health and Human Services Committee met Tuesday to host a forum on Medicaid reform -- this one specifically for public comment -- setting the stage for what will be one of the leading issues when the Legislature convenes in March.
While the number of Medicaid enrollees and their costs continue to grow, the House passed an attempt to reform the program Monday after a week of bipartisan work to amend the bill. The House passed Medicaid reform 80-34.
