AASA Legislative Corps Speaks, and Is Heard.AASA'S Legislative Corps demonstrated its effectiveness in the U.S. House of Representatives March 14 and 15 when the House Budget Committee adopted an amendment that headed off what had appeared to be inevitable Medicaid-reimbursement rules harmful to schools. The all-volunteer Corps responded to AASA's e-mail alert, sent to every member of AASA's 400-strong Legislative Corps, by calling House members and requesting an amendment to the proposed legislation. Corps members were asked to contact their own House of Representatives member and ask that he/she get in touch with their Budget Committee colleagues to demand an amendment be adopted. And it was. Within 24 hours of the Alert, the House Budget Committee passed an amendment calling on the Health Care Financing Administration Health Care Financing Administration, n.pr department in the U.S. agency of Health and Human Services responsible for the oversight of the Medicaid and Medicare benefit programs, including guidelines, payment, and coverage policies. (HCFA HCFA abbr. Health Care Financing Administration HCFA, n.pr See Health Care Financing Administration. ) to either "substantially revise or abandon the current draft" of its Medicaid school-based reimbursement guide. In fact, when the time came to bring up the amendment--around 7:30 p.m. March 15--AASA budget lobbyist Jordan Cross saw members arguing over who would be able to call it their amendment! Everybody wanted on board. Budget Committee Chair John Kasich John Richard Kasich (born May 13, 1952, McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania) is a former United States Republican United States Representative who is now a television show host for FOX News Channel. , R-Ohio, who'd been getting calls from Ohio administrators all day, announced that the amendment was adopted in a unanimous vote.
