4 events,Webinar, Feb.19, 2-3 p.m. ET online The Health Care Value Hub of Consumer Reports will host a webinar in which… Many states are implementing their own health initiatives, such as tying Medicaid payment to value and integrating behavioral health and primary care. States have long used Medicaid 1115 waivers to give them flexibility to test new delivery models and benefit designs. Starting in 2017, states can also use section 1332 waivers to bypass ACA requirements and institute their own reforms. Though, after the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued guidance in December 2015, the amount of flexibility these waivers provide is in question. Governors will provide the latest on health care initiatives in their states and discuss challenges. This will include a discussion on Medicaid changes, waiver limitations, and budget considerations. The water crisis gripping Flint, Michigan, has exposed thousands of children to unsafe lead levels, triggering a federal emergency declaration and national conversation about basic public health protections. However, the Flint example is not unique; other American cities have faced lead contamination in water supplies. This Forum will examine those links and the implications for both children and adults, while exploring public policy successes and failures in safeguarding the public’s health against neurotoxicants. |
