AFSCME hospital workers and the Save GAMC Coalition have a little good news for 70,000 of the poorest and most vulnerable Minnesotans who count on General Assistance Medical Care for health coverage. The program, initially slated for elimination after Feb. 28, will now be extended for one month. This extra month gives policymakers time to rescue GAMC, preserve medical care for the poor, and save jobs at safety-net hospitals that care for the uninsured. A new report by the Minnesota Budget Project examines why GAMC is so important and what options are on the table for replacing it. You can take action at FixItNowMN.org and WillYouLose.org.
