New, privatized system launched

Women’s Health and Family Planning Medicaid Waiver

• SB 747 by Senator John Carona: Texas Medicaid will provide basic medical check-ups and birth control services to women ages 18 and older, up to 185% of the poverty line ($2,559/month pre-tax income for a family of 3 in 2005).

• Currently in Texas, working mothers must live at or below 23% of the poverty line to qualify for Medicaid (less than $308/month for a family of 3) and childless women can’t qualify at all – so the waiver could help many thousands of women who can’t get full Medicaid benefits.

– Texas has the highest % of uninsured women 18-64 (29.3%) in the nation (U.S. average is 18.6%)

– About 40% of Texas women live below 200% of poverty, and 52% of them are uninsured.

• State still finalizing approval with federal officials; January 2007 is the tentative start-up date.

Boosting Your Community’s Share of State Spending

In 2005, Dallas/Collin/Denton Counties accounted for 12% of state spending, but were home to 16% of the state’s residents (average per capita state spending: $2,300 in 2005, versus $3,016 for all Texas counties)

How to improve that statistic:

Work with legislators to see that state formulas to distribute federal funds (county allocations, rates, regional distributions) don’t put local service providers at a disadvantage

Make sure that eligible residents are being served by education and HHS programs

Understand what budget cuts (10% reduction proposals for 2008-09) will cost in lost funds and the services they provide
