Florida's
new hospital industry head opposes Medicaid expansion
Modern Healthcare
With its choice
of a new leader, the Florida Hospital Association has signaled that seeking
legislative approval to expand Medicaid to nearly 850,000 uninsured adults
won't be among its top priorities. In October, Mary Mayhew became the
association's CEO. Mayhew, who led the state's Medicaid agency since 2019, has
been a vocal critic of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion adopted by
38 other states. She has argued that expansion puts states in a difficult
position because the federal government is unlikely to keep its financial
commitment to pay its share of the costs.
