Governors at the National Governors’
Association meeting have called for an increase in Medicaid funds through an
increase in the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) i.e, the
“federal match.” The FMAP helps determine the funds distributed to the state
for Medicaid services. Previous House and Senate bills related to an increase
are currently stuck in committee, but the Governors believe that
president-elect Obama will likely include some form of increase for Medicaid in
future stimulus legislation.

the requests by the governors is available on http://www.nga.org
