“Medicaid experienced double-digit increases last year and many of those trends are continuing this fiscal year, according to data from the Department of Social Services,” Lembo said. The current fiscal year’s budget “relied on over $100 million from Medicaid program savings initiatives, many of which have not been implemented to date, while caseload growth continues in the low-income adult program area with the addition of more than 4,000 clients since the start of the fiscal year.”
