Each presidential candidate accuses the other of backing spending cuts and other policies that would damage the health insurance program for older Americans.But the election’s outcome could alter the very nature of the nearly 60-year-old federal…November 2024Policy & Law
- From 2018–2020, 19 states enacted Medicaid work requirements as a strategy for reducing program enrollment and overall cost. While these requirements were later rescinded, strategies to reduce Medicaid costs are likely to reemerge as states attempt to recover economically from the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we evaluated the impact of Medicaid work requirements on adults aged > 50, a group that…July 2023Medicaid

- The National Quality Forum and several collaborators launched the National Quality Task Force in late 2018 to analyze the progress of the modern quality movement today and recommend a path forward. Despite impressive gains, notable shortcomings persist in normalizing consistent, high-value, person-centered care. What is primarily missing is not progress in measurement, but progress in results.…May 2020Health Reform
- States developing accountable health models often look to Oregon for inspiration. Oregon established its Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) in 2012, pursuant to a Medicaid Section 1115 demonstration waiver. CCOs are local networks of all types of health care providers – including physical, behavioral, and oral health providers – that the state pays a global capitated rate to provide…March 2019Medicaid
