Florida Legislature Agrees on $304M in Hospital Medicaid Cuts

Members of the Florida House and Senate have agreed to $303.9 million in Medicaid cuts to hospitals as part of a final spending plan for next year, according to a News-Press report.

Lawmakers agreed to use other state funds to make the Medicaid cuts smaller initially, but Medicaid cuts of more than $404 million would be enforced in future years, according to the report.


In December, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said the state's 2012-2013 budget would include roughly $2 billion in Medicaid cuts across the entire healthcare spectrum.
