Box 1459 Tallahassee, FL 32302 (850) 224-3907 s (850) 681-2075 fax www.FHCA.org 2004 Election Guide for Long Term Care Facilities The 2005 Legislative Session will be a critical one for Florida nursing homes. The state budget crisis is such that legislators will not be able to avoid making serious and broad reforms in order to keep spending under control. The Medicaid Program is growing at leaps and bounds and executive and legislative leaders have stated that the program must be brought under control. Any major changes to the way Medicaid is financed will have serious implications for Medicaid recipients and providers, and for the state’s health care system as a whole. We must take every opportunity to ensure that we elect people who understand and support long term care providers. That is why the Florida Health Care Association is providing you with this election year guide. It contains information that the Association has collected on state Senate and House races. We do not intend it to be fully comprehensive; there are many candidates that we have not met. However, we share with you what we do know now so that you, your staff, residents and family members may become better educated as voters and more active in your elected official’s races. This guide contains the following items: * An outline of the 2004-2005 Grassroots Program - It describes our plan for the election and for the upcoming legislative session.

    View this email in your browser From FAHU Lobbyist, Rhett O'Doski Week 5 is almost in the books and Legislators will take Friday and Monday off for the Easter holiday. This past week, both chambers voted vastly differing budget plans out of their chambers setting the stage for high level budget battles after the Easter break. The largest differences are how the two chambers account for the almost two billion hole in the budget created by the looming expiration of the federal LIP funds. The State of Florida is currently undergoing a series of negotiations with CMS through the Agency for Health Care Administration and we learned this week that the Senate dispatched Senators Garcia and Richter to Washington on their own fact finding mission. Senator Garcia stated upon his return on Wednesday that he was encouraged by the discussions, however as described below the discussions were abruptly halted by CMS. So far this year we have been successful in thwarting the advancement of legislation that would make step therapy protocols impossible to implement forcing drug costs up. Senate bill 784 by Senator Don Gaetz known as the “Right Medicine, Right Time” act has advanced through the Senate but the House bill, HB 863 by Representative Harrison has yet to receive a hearing and it is unlikely to at this point. Thank you to all FAHU members who reached out to your legislative contacts expressing opposition. Insurance coverage mandates have reached similar fates in the House of Representatives this year. Senator Ring’s SB 142 which is an expansion of a current autism mandate has moved through one of four committees with the House version also without a hearing so far.
