Guam officials eye Medicaid cliff

HAGÃTÃA (The Guam Daily Post) â Local health officials are keeping a keen eye on the expiration of expanded Medicaid assistance as they map out their budgetary needs for the next fiscal year. The federal government covers a certain share of Medicaid expenses based on the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage for the state or territory. The FMAP for Guam has fluctuated recently but has been 55% in the past, meaning the local government needed to put up a 45% share to get the federal government to cover the rest. In fiscal year 2019, Congress raised the FMAP to 100%. In fiscal 2020 and 2021, the FMAP was set to 83% and then to about 89%, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Moreover, the island s Medicaid cap was lifted to about $130 million for fiscal year 2020 and 2021.

Senatorial Update with Sen Chuck Grassley

Senatorial Update with Sen. Chuck Grassley Hamburg Reporter Q: Why is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebrated in May? A: In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed the first joint congressional resolution to celebrate the cultural, social and economic contributions of Asian Pacific Americans from May 4 to 11. The dates were chosen to mark two important anniversaries in Asian American history. On May 7, 1843, the first immigrants from Japan arrived in the United States and on May 10, 1869, the transcontinental railroad was finished. Major work on the railroad was completed by newcomers from China. President George H.W. Bush extended the observance for the entire month of May.

How the US Can Protect the Sovereignty of the Smallest Pacific Islands

How the US Can Protect the Sovereignty of the Smallest Pacific Islands As the Biden administration confronts China’s growing assertiveness, the challenges confronting the smallest Pacific Islands should be front of mind. By May 07, 2021 Advertisement As the Biden presidency crosses the symbolic 100-day threshold, China’s predations across the Indo-Pacific are growing almost daily. In the South China Sea, over 200 Chinese fishing vessels refused to leave Philippine waters for weeks in a transparent effort to press Beijing’s sovereignty claims there. Chinese aircraft are regularly setting records for the scale of their encroachment into Taiwanese airspace. A new, Chinese-produced map doubles down on the country’s claim to the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands. And Beijing’s appetite for economic pressure tactics, extending to goods as diverse as Australian wine and Taiwanese pineapples, shows no sign of abating.
