The Federal Deficit Reduction Act and its impact on children

Laurie Soman et al. J Pediatr Nurs. 2008 Oct.

Abstract

The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 makes changes in the Medicaid program that may have a significant effect on children's health. Nurses and other health care professionals should be aware of these changes in order to monitor the impact of the legislation, guide families in the process of accessing needed services, and advocating on behalf of children and families.
