Reduced Medicaid funding could be crucial in “golden hour” of emergency situation
At the second of a two-day hearing on how reduced Medicaid funding may impact trauma center emergency response, Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) says that “if the unthinkable happens,” whether or not emergency care is readily available will determine how many lives are lost and saved in the “golden hour” of such a situation. He says that the Federal government “should not be taking actions that undermine the prospect of an effective emergency response” by cutting Medicaid funding. (0:45)
