Delaware: Moving Forward In 2017

Submitted by Shannon Gahs, Associate Director, DE Government Affairs (GAO)

Governor John Carney took office in January, inheriting a budget deficit of $350 million.  As a result, the General Assembly is reviewing all planned expenditures for 2017.  I attended public hearings on all parts of the budget affecting the Department of Health and Social Services and testified on the need for a rate floor in Medicaid-contracted services.
