    Alliance for Health Care Security
    The Nevada Congressional Delegation is urged to address funding for several important healthcare programs in any continuing resolution by February 8th. A coalition of Nevada healthcare groups is increasingly concerned as funding deadlines approach without action. Programs that support low-income families and rural hospitals, like Medicaid DSH cuts and community health centers, still need funding. Failure to act is causing stress for consumers and providers. The letter requests that Congress prioritize these issues in any resolution by the February 8th deadline.

    Nevada Congressional Delegation:

    Nevada’s Healthcare Community Increasingly Concerned as Funding Deadline


    Approaches

    As you know, our coalition of Nevada’s health care and human service consumers, workers,
    providers, and insurers has been paying close attention to the debate over health care and
    health care funding in Congress.

    We are particularly concerned about programs that affect millions of low- and moderate-
    income families and the providers that serve them. As the months have passed since the
    October 1 expiration date, these Nevadans have grown increasingly worried about the
    future.

    While we were pleased that Congress acted last week to fully fund the Children’s Health
    Insurance Program for six years, we were very disappointed that no action was taken on
    other important health care measures that ensure Nevadans’ access to coverage and care,
    including:

     Postponing the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital cuts, which will take $3.9
    million from our state’s rural and urban safety net hospitals this year.
     Extending the Health Centers Fund, which provides much needed funding to
    Federally Qualified Health Centers across Nevada.
     Funding the cost-sharing reduction payments, which contribute towards the costs of
    insuring moderate-income Nevadans.
     Extending the Medicare Dependent Hospital program and Low Volume payment
    adjustment, which provides critical support for rural and small community
    hospitals.

    We strongly urge you to address these issues in any continuing resolution passed by the
    new February 8 deadline, rather than postponing them to a full 2017-18 budget bill to be
    considered in March.

    Many of you have expressed strong support for these programs, which help ensure that
    Nevadans from every income level have access to high-quality healthcare in all parts of the
    state. The delay in funding is causing increasing stress and uncertainty for consumers and
    providers alike, and we ask you to do everything you can to address these issues by
    February 8.
