WASHINGTON — The Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday that potential major cuts and changes to Medicaid under consideration by Republicans could mean states would have to spend more of their own money on the program, reduce payments to health care providers, limit optional benefits and reduce enrollment.

Emily Jones, APRN, has joined the team at Baptist Health Sleep Clinic-Little Rock.

Jones received a medical education from Henderson State University. She is board-certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

“I strive to make sure my patients feel heard and understood,” Jones said. “I want to ensure that they receive the best possible care, which includes addressing their concerns and answering their questions. I am passionate about helping my patients improve their quality of life, and I believe that improving their sleep quality can do that.”
