Examining Medicaid as an Option for Health Reform at Health Care for Health Care Workers

 

…….A briefing held at the Kaiser Foundation yesterday discussed the issues that must be addressed as congressional leaders work on proposals for universal coverage that might include the expansion of Medicaid.  Some of those  issues included:

• Cost at the state and federal level
• Variance in federal match rate for states
• Eligibility in terms of income and health status
• Provider payment rates
• Balance between public programs and private insurance

The briefing is available via webcast.
