WATERBURY, Conn. (March 25, 2008) — The Medicaid reform bill pending in the Legislature has received letters with more than 10,000 signatures of support and gained 15 legislative co-sponsors.
The bill (SB No. 561) would increase the number of patients transitioned from institutional care to the new home-care program Money Follows the Person (MFP) and invest in the future of health care by creating jobs that will ensure enough skilled workers available to support a fundamental shift to greater consumer choice in Connecticut’s Medicaid system.
