AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 6253

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 6253 by replacing
3everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4    "Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds it is in
5the best interests of the State to take advantage of the
6Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to enable Illinois
7to receive enhanced federal revenue to cover the costs of
8health care for low-income adults who are otherwise not
9eligible for Medicaid. The General Assembly further finds that
10the administration and financing of the Medicaid program must
11be sound to ensure Illinois may take full advantage of national
12health care reform to keep people healthier; reimburse
13hospitals and clinics for uncompensated and charity care for
14the uninsured; and replace spending by county and local
15governments for healthcare costs now borne by local health
16departments, social service agencies, homeless shelters,
17mental health clinics, drug treatment centers, township

 

 

09700HB6253ham001- 2 -LRB097 23532 KTG 73018 a

1organizations, and others for the care of the uninsured.
2Accordingly, the General Assembly finds that, while filling the
3current gap in Medicaid coverage, it is essential that the
4State preserve and extend recent efforts to reform Illinois'
5Medicaid program. Changes designed to increase efficiencies
6and enhance program integrity must continue to prevent client
7and provider fraud and abuse; to impose controls on use of
8Medicaid services to prevent over-use or waste; to rationalize
9the Medicaid health care delivery system by adopting care
10coordination models wherever feasible to achieve effective and
11efficient care delivery across all covered services; and to
12operate the program within budget limits.
