2/29/16 Group Watch: Senate Passes General Fund Budget
Thursday night, after much debate, the Senate passed a $1.8 billion General Fund Budget on a 23 to 10 vote. If enacted, it provides level funding for most state agencies, but it prohibits Medicaid from moving to managed care. With plenty of time in the session left, some believe this opens the door for a needed discussion of Medicaid’s part in Alabama health care.
