HANYS/ Allied Association State Budget Briefings
January 24, 25, 26, 27 & February 2
Various Locations
Policymakers will consider important policy and fiscal issues during the budget process and entire legislative session. HANYS’ agenda will focus on:
-
the need for public policies to ensure payment adequacy and that public and private payers cover the cost of care that they promised and that providers appropriately delivered;
-
supporting much-needed new capital dollars and promote stabilization and transformation;
-
increasing support for financially struggling, safety net and rural providers;
-
enacting common sense managed care reforms, regulatory relief, and policies to encourage individuals to consider organ and tissue donation; and
- opposing debilitating new mandates such as mandatory staffing ratio and unbalanced medical malpractice proposals.
The potential financial implications of Affordable Care Act (ACA) “repeal and replace” make investments even more crucial to help shore up our healthcare infrastructure and make sure we do not lose ground. Optimizing capital investment, funding for distressed hospitals, and the use of state funds to foster transformation is critical.
