Legislative findings.
408.301 Legislative findings.--The Legislature has found that access to quality, affordable, health care for all Floridians is an important goal for the state. The Legislature recognizes that there are Floridians with special health care and social needs which require particular attention. The people served by the Department of Children and Family Services and the Department of Health are examples of citizens with special needs. The Legislature further recognizes that the Medicaid program is an intricate part of the service delivery system for the special needs citizens served by or through the Department of Children and Family Services and the Department of Health. The Agency for Health Care Administration is not a service provider and does not develop or direct programs for the special needs citizens served by or through the Department of Children and Family Services and the Department of Health. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that the Agency for Health Care Administration work closely with the Department of Children and Family Services and the Department of Health in developing plans for assuring access to all Floridians in order to assure that the needs of special citizens are met.
