Health policy is unpredictable in the Age of Trump. This webinar will look at recent developments in Washington, D.C. – and how they affect health coverage in states.
This webinar will focus on how the AHCA would impact states and Medicaid beneficiaries, how a system of per capita caps would work, what we learned from the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, and how states might respond to new waiver flexibility from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We will examine these issues from both the federal and state perspective, and from the perspective of reporters covering this important issue.
