USofCare Applauds Passage of Funding for Additional Medicaid Buy-In Study in New Mexico
US of Care applauds the New Mexico Together for Healthcare Coalition on their success in advocating for the inclusion of new funding in the state’s budget for additional analysis of Medicaid buy-in. We also commend the legislature’s directive to the Governor to seek a federal waiver in order to expand access to affordable health care for New Mexicans through a buy-in model. Together, these are promising steps to increase access to affordable health care. We will continue to support New Mexico and other states as they develop innovative solutions to address our country’s most pressing health care issues.
