Analyzing the Impact of Potential Medicaid Cuts

On Thursday, May 1, State Health and Value Strategies hosted a webinar to discuss significant cuts to Medicaid under consideration by Congress as part of the budget reconciliation process. To support states in informing and validating their own fiscal and program impact estimates of potential federal policy changes, Manatt Health has developed, with support and input from SHVS, a new toolkit providing national and state-by-state modeling on the potential impacts of proposals. Key proposals discussed include those to reduce the federal medical assistance percentage rate, establish a per-capita cap financial approach for enrolled Medicaid populations, and make work reporting requirements a condition of Medicaid eligibility. During the webinar, experts from Manatt Health reviewed the new toolkit, including proposal-specific modeling data sources and assumptions, and national and state model findings.
