State Issues

VGM’s primary focus in government relations is Federal issues. We also monitor issues at the state level impacting independent home medical equipment, rehab and O&P providers. Working with State and regional associations to support members, VGM provides speakers, educational materials and lobbying support on key state issues.

Medicaid Resources:

As states struggle to balance their fiscal year budgets, funding for state Medicaid programs is often at the crux of those decisions. Although Medicaid is not the cause of the state budget crises (which are due to declining state revenues), funding for the program is at risk because it is a large and growing component of state budgets.

VGM is pleased to provide documents and other tools for homecare providers and other advocates fighting Medicaid budget cuts that will harm access to health care for the nation's most vulnerable people. To continue, please click here.
