ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A new proposal from the Bush administration, that slashes billions of dollars from the Medicaid program, will threaten access to life-saving medications for millions of the most vulnerable Americans and cost the government more in the long run, according to the National Community Pharmacists Association. The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed cutting the Medicaid program by $8.4 billion over the next five years, with more than 90 percent of the cuts reportedly coming from reimbursement to pharmacies. Medicaid is the joint federal-state program that provides health care to more than 50 million poor and disabled persons, more than 50 percent of whom are children.
