The White House wants to reverse $500 million in cuts to the Medicaid program meant to start in 2014, aiming to ensure that states have adequate funds to assist those that remain uninsured under the Affordable Care Act.
“To better align DSH payments with expected levels of uncompensated care, the Budget proposes to begin reductions in 2015, instead of 2014,” the White House proposes.
The DSH cuts are supposed to start in 2014 with $500 million in reductions and get bigger each year. In 2022, the DSH program faces a $4 billion reduction.
