Idaho儿科医生警告HB 345可以切断儿科护理; Idaho pediatricians warn HB 345 could cut pediatric care; urge emergency fix to save case management program.

Pocatello儿童诊所警告说,Idaho的2025年众议院第345号法案计划到2029年将医疗补助过渡给管理下的护理组织,它可能引发初级护理危机,而不会恢复健康联系个案管理计划。 The Pocatello Children’s Clinic warns that Idaho’s 2025 House Bill 345, which plans to transition Medicaid to Managed Care Organizations by 2029, could trigger a primary care crisis without reinstating the Healthy Connections Case Management program. 诊所敦促立法者通过一项紧急修正案,以维持该方案,该方案负责协调对医疗援助计划病人的护理,减少急诊室访问,并支持预防和下班后服务。 The clinic urges lawmakers to pass an emergency amendment to maintain the program, which coordinates care for Medicaid patients, reduces emergency room visits, and supports preventive and after-hours services. 没有它,国家面临4亿到6亿美元的年度预算短缺,普遍丧失儿科护理服务,特别是在农村地区。 Without it, the state faces a $400–$600 million annual budget shortfall and widespread loss of pediatric care access, especially in rural areas. 这个诊所代表爱达荷东南部大多数儿科医生, 表示取消这个计划会威胁到社区健康实践及长期成本节约。 The clinic, representing most pediatricians in southeastern Idaho, says eliminating the program threatens community health practices and long-term cost savings. 由于Idaho立法机构定于1月12日开会,该诊所敦促居民与立法者联系,支持修正案,保护基本护理。 With the Idaho Legislature set to convene on January 12, the clinic is urging residents to contact their legislators to support the amendment and protect essential care.
