Re: Medicaid Premiums
Here is a link to an excellent editorial by Shapley in yesterday's PI which you might want to forward to your legislators with a plea to eliminate Medicaid premiums below 200% FPL. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/163298_shapley07.html. Let me know if you hear anything positive. We still have 4 days, including today, to influence the final Budget! Thank you! Cynthia
