Sen. #SarahMcBride unveils healthcare provider tax legislation, could levy additional $100 million in federal funds for #Medicaid

#McBride says her Protect Medicaid Act of 2024 would bring #Delaware’s Medicaid program its largest ongoing infusion of federal funding since the #AffordableCareAct.

The federal government matches every two dollars a state invests in Medicaid with about three dollars. This bill would require #hospitals to assess and pay 3.58 percent of their net patient revenue, which the federal government would also match.

#Delaware’s work to create a legal recreational #Marijuana industry is well underway.

Leading those efforts is recently-appointed Marijuana Commissioner Rob Coupe, who is working to finalize recreational market regulations.

Another key voice is Democratic State Rep. Ed Osienski, the primary sponsor of last year’s recreational marijuana legalization bill. He’s pursuing further legislation to expand access to medical marijuana and help kickstart the recreational market.
