--- Begin Message ---As most of you probably know by now, the House, yesterday after defeating the budget bill with major Medicaid cuts and cuts in other important programs (food stamps, etc.), then reversed itself in the wee small hours of the night. So in the end the House PASSED the cuts.The bill, passed 217-215. See how your representative voted at http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll601.xml Also, during the night, the Senate passed a bill that extends the tax CUTS. So we need to keep emailing and calling both Senators and Representatives and ask them to be sure Money Follows the Person is in the final budget bill, and that Medicaid cuts are taken out of the final budget.
