LeadingAge NY Issues Detailed Summary of Executive Budget
A Jan. 23rd memo produced by LeadingAge NY summarizes in detail the health, Medicaid, and housing proposals advanced by the Governor as part of his State Fiscal Year 2017-18 Executive Budget. Governor Cuomo released his budget proposal last Tuesday, Jan. 17th.
The memo provides more detailed information on proposals that affect multiple service lines, service-line specific proposals, and other initiatives of interest to long term care and senior services providers. There are several issues of importance to the LeadingAge NY membership that will require advocacy efforts as we head into state budget deliberations. The memo concludes with specific information on advocacy opportunities for members to take advantage of.
We encourage you to review the memo and to participate in our advocacy efforts. If you have any questions, please contact us. We are awaiting clarifications on certain proposals and will pass along additional information to our members as it becomes available.
