RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE ADOPTION OF A STATE POLICY ASSURING THAT SAVINGS REALIZED BY THE STATE THROUGH THE EXTENSION OF FEDERAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PERCENTAGE PAYMENTS OF ONE HUNDRED PERCENT FOR NATIVE HAWAIIAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS IS USED TO ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES EXPERIENCED BY NATIVE HAWAIIAN COMMUNITIES. .

AI Summary

This Resolution requests that all state executive departments adopt a policy ensuring that any savings the state receives from the federal government covering 100% of the costs for Native Hawaiian health care systems, through an extension of Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) payments, are specifically used to address health disparities faced by Native Hawaiian communities. The resolution highlights the importance of organizations like Papa Ola Lkahi and AHARO Hawaii, which provide culturally sensitive health services, including traditional healing practices, to Native Hawaiians, and notes that these federal savings should be directed towards critical needs such as dental care and the early management of chronic diseases within these communities.
