Following a decision by the Florida Legislative Budget Commission to approve more than $10 billion in federal funding for the state’s Medicaid program, Jenn Pellegrino, Founder and President of Defend Forgotten America, released the following statement:
“CMS approval of vital Medicaid funding for Florida is another Trump administration win for fiscal responsibility.
Local Provider Participation Funds are essential tools to keep rural and small-urban hospitals open and property taxes low.
We are grateful for the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and his administration’s commitment to common-sense fiscal responsibility and protecting rural and small-urban communities – priorities that should guide every major funding decision.
Defend Forgotten America will continue to fight for reforms that put patients and taxpayers first, not bureaucrats in Washington.”
