Ehrlich cuts health care for children of immigrants

Sun Staff - June 21, 2005

The Ehrlich administration has begun sending letters to thousands of low-income legal immigrants informing them that their children will lose health care benefits next month, and officials are deciding whether to restore funding to help pregnant women, as demanded by the legislature. Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s budget proposal for the fiscal year that begins July 1 eliminated a $7 million Medicaid program for children and pregnant women in low-income families who are legal permanent residents, about 4,000 people statewide. Earlier this year, legislators attempted to restore $1.5 million to cover pregnant women, but Ehrlich spokesman Henry Fawell said Tuesday that the administration has not decided whether to comply with the request -- which was written into the state budget.
