WASHINGTON, DC - The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, chaired by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA), announced a hearing for Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2017, at 10 a.m. in room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing is entitled, “Medicaid Oversight: Existing Problems and Ways to Strengthen the Program."
The Medicaid program faces serious challenges - skyrocketing costs, reports of fraud schemes, and eligibility determination errors are just a few of the problems plaguing the program and threatening health care services for those who need it the most. This hearing will aim to troubleshoot existing problems with the implementation of the Medicaid program and identify ways to strengthen the program.
“I can’t think of a better way to kick off subcommittee activity than by examining the realities of the Medicaid program and assessing the impact on American families," said Chairman Murphy. “As we work to rebuild our broken health care system, we must continue to strive for meaningful reforms to deliver real treatment and Medicaid’s expansion needs to be a part of that conversation."
