Please reconsider the new program that will reduce Medicaid reimbursements for so called "preventable" conditions.  This will have a disastrous effect on both patients and the ability of hospitals to care for them.  To assume that patients have the ability to determine an emergent condition from a non-emergent one in advance goes against much of what our healthcare system is founded upon and will have crippling effect on ERs across the state.  We are the safety net for our healthcare system, and while reforms are needed to improve preventative care, this legislation will only serve to reduce the number of providers available to care for patients, especially in those ERs that see a significant number of Medicaid patients.
