WASHINGTON, D.C.<\/span><\/b> \u2013 U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, <\/span>Education, Labor <\/span>and <\/span>Pensions (HELP), announced her co-sponsorship of the Coronavirus <\/span>Medicai<\/span>d Response Act<\/span><\/i>, legislation that would respond to the increased need for health care during the coronavirus pandemic by creating a quicker and more responsive process for federal funding of state Medicai<\/span>d<\/span> <\/span>programs.<\/span><\/u1_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/u1_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Nevada\u2019s hard-working families should never have to worry about losing access to their health care coverage, let alone during a public health crisis,\u201d said Senator Rosen.<\/b> \u201c<\/span>I\u2019m co-sponsoring this common-sense legislation to support state governments so they can continue to provide life-saving coverage to the millions of low-income Americans who rely on Medicai<\/span>d<\/span> <\/span>for their health care needs. I will continue working in Congress to ensure the Silver State has the resources it needs to overcome this pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/u1_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/u1_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

BACKGROUND:<\/span><\/u><\/b> <\/span>More specifically, the <\/span>Coronavirus <\/span>Medicai<\/span>d<\/span> <\/span>Response Act<\/i> <\/span>would create an automatic process that would increase a state\u2019s Medicai<\/span>d<\/span> <\/span>Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) as unemployment levels increase, enabling states to receive needed aid in a more timely manner and through a streamlined process. As a state\u2019s economy improves, the FMAP bump would subside \u2013 thus federal aid would ebb and flow with a state\u2019s economy.<\/span><\/u1_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Currently, states must rely on Congress to provide these increases, which often delays their enactment and can force states to make tough financial choices that include cutting jobs and reducing health care coverage.    <\/span><\/u1_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n
