The National Association of State Budget Directors (NASBO), in conjunction with the National Governor's Association (NGA), recently released the Fall 2009 Fiscal Survey of the States Report. The attached report provides an informative overview of where state budgets stand at this time of the year.
The sections on Medicaid and health care expansions offer some valuable information and data on state Medicaid programs, efforts by states to contain costs, changes to state CHIP programs and efforts to expand coverage to the uninsured.
Over the past year, Sellers Dorsey has played a role in various states, increasing access to care, assisting with strategies around cost containment and financing, as well as advising states on various aspects of their Medicaid programs. Many of these initiatives can be seen throughout this survey.
