The paper goes on to ask for adequate funding of the Medicaid program. We strongly agree. Medicaid is a complex program that serves many of the poorest and most vulnerable children in Texas.
Sufficient funding is vital to maintaining access to care.
Texas physicians, hospitals, and patients support the Medicaid program. As with any large health care program, improvements can be made. Simplifying children's Medicaid eligibility will result in higher costs to business. Simplifying the Children's Medicaid eligibility process is good for state and local economies. Texas Medicaid is a vital component of Texas' health care delivery system.
