At today's meeting there were a few new points brought up regarding, duel eligibles, Small fee for service component, in home health aids, reduction in the waiting list for HCBS, but nothing big in the way of changes that will effect tribes.
Navajo MAC committee member did again express Navajos' objection to the mandatory enrollment into managed care and the loss of fee for service/opt out category for Native Americans
Several other MAC committee members did express need for more outreach/education/consultation to tribal communities.
Governor from Jemez read a statement about lack of consultation, the rights of pueblos and tribes as sovereign nations, and the lack of a pueblo representative on the MAC. Many MAC committee members agreed and seconded his statement. I would like to thank the Governor for his words on behalf of the Pueblos.
