The substitute passed by voice vote

Passed in the Senate 26 to 12 (details)

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-2012 Department of Community Health budget. This would appropriate $13.833 billion in gross spending, compared to $14.124 billion the previous year (which included $650 million of extra federal "stimulus" spending). Of this, $8.686 billion is federal money. The budget presumes a 1 percent tax on health insurance claims, which would replace roughly equivalent taxes on health care providers, and is designed to bring in more federal Medicaid money.
