'Driving for Quality Care' Bus Visits Charleston
WEST VIRGINIA....
The 'Driving for Quality Care' bus arrived in Charleston Thursday and plans to make stops in 40 states over the next few weeks raising awareness about the need for extended F-MAP or Federal Matching Assistance Program funding. The current funding is stalled in a bill on Capitol Hill. Supporters say on the line for West Virginia is $165 million in Medicaid relief. West Virginia didn't anticipate the money so it's not budgeted in, but officials say the cash could go towards dozens of much needed programs that will benefit many, including senior citizens living in homes and the people who provide their care.
