|
0009| FOR THE LEGISLATIVE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
|
0010|
|
0011| A JOINT MEMORIAL
|
0012| REQUESTING THAT THE GOVERNOR AND RESPONSIBLE SOCIAL SERVICE
|
0013| AGENCIES ENSURE THAT REDUCTIONS IN MEDICAID BENEFITS NOT DENY
|
0014| RECIPIENTS ACCESS TO ADEQUATE HEALTH CARE.
|
0015|
|
0016| WHEREAS, many New Mexicans have access to health care only
|
0017| due to their eligibility for medicaid; and
|
0018| WHEREAS, reductions in medicaid or its successor program
|
0019| may have drastic effects on New Mexico's poor, elderly and
|
0020| disabled citizens; and
|
0021| WHEREAS, in the advent of managed care, providers will
|
0022| concern themselves primarily with consumer groups most able to
|
0023| afford health care; and
|
0024| WHEREAS, this challenge affords great opportunity to better
|
0025| utilize attendants, homemakers, home health aides and other
|
0001| health support personnel, both in providing services and in
|
0002| reducing costs; and
|
0003| WHEREAS, meeting the challenge of providing adequate health
|
0004| care to all New Mexicans will take a full effort on the part of
|
0005| everyone concerned, including both the executive and legislative
|
0006| branches of government, service providers and professionals from
|
0007| every category, and consumers and community advocacy groups; and
|
0008| WHEREAS, due in large part to the Washington gridlock,
|
0009| states do not yet know what the eligibility criteria are or of
|
0010| what the benefits package will consist;
|
0011| NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
|
0012| STATE OF NEW MEXICO that both the legislature and the executive
|
0013| branch of government, including the governor and the secretaries
|
0014| of the respective health and social service agencies, be
|
0015| requested to ensure the provision of adequate health care for
|
0016| the state's poor, elderly and disabled regardless of actions at
|
0017| the federal level; and
|
0018| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the recommendations of existing
|
0019| continuum and advocacy groups be given serious consideration in
|
0020| decision-making on eligibility criteria and the benefits package
|
0021| offered New Mexicans under congress's revised medicaid or its
|
0022| successor program; and
|
0023| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be sent
|
0024| to the governor and the secretaries of each department and
|
0025| agency that provides health and human services.
