WASHINGTON – House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Subcommittee on Health Chair Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., will hold a legislative hearing on April 30 to discuss legislative proposals that will strengthen the Medicaid program for individuals most in need. “Medicaid is indispensable to millions of Americans, particularly those with disabilities who rely on long-term services and supports,” they said in an announcement. “It’s critical that we work to bolster access to those services while also improving the integrity of the program to ensure that states can continue to offer care for years to come. We thank the members who have led on these proposals—many of which are bipartisan—and look forward to hearing from Deputy Administrator (Daniel) Tsai on how we can strengthen Medicaid for those it was designed to assist.” Tsai, deputy administrator and director of the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services for CMS, will testify.
