As a part of our COVID-19 advocacy efforts, ASHP sent a sign on letter with 24 of our state affiliates to Congressional leaders requesting an increase in federal funding for Medicaid and other state-based safety net programs. The goal of this increase is to protect patients' access to care during the COVID-19 emergency. The letter asks that economic stimulus discussions include strategies to maximize the sustainability of Medicaid  so that patients may continue to seek the care they need. This letter is a direct result of feedback from our affiliates regarding the impact state budget cuts could have on the healthcare system.

The letter is attached and can be found on the website: https://www.ashp.org/Advocacy-and-Issues/Key-Issues/Other-Issues/ASHP-and-State-Affiliates-Request-Increased-Funding-for-Medicaid
