"County leaders have been assured by the Governor that the final 2016-17 State Budget will not change the hard cap on local Medicaid costs, nor will it add additional costs to counties and county taxpayers. The budget will put additional emphasis on policing the integrity of the State's public health insurance program, which has been a long-time focus of county governments dating back to its inception in 1966. County officials will continue to work with the state to identify ways to control costs, identify savings, and promote an efficient Medicaid program; after all, it is a taxpayer funded program, and that is who we collectively work for."
