State Budget Update

 

The final state budget was passed on May 28 and concluded the Special Session of the 2010 Kentucky General Assembly.

 

HB 1 includes two key health wins for Kentuckians:

 

1.     Funding to suspend KCHIP premiums, reducing barriers to keep kids healthy and saving struggling families an additional expense; and

2.     Allocations for smoking cessation programs for Kentuckians on Medicaid – which will make residents healthier now and save taxpayer dollars in the long run.
