Description

This report argues that Medicaid functions as a key economic engine, anchoring health care services in communities., and an important entry-point for human/social services. As Medicaid expands it gains leverage to direct changes in how healthcare services are delivered. Medicaid faces several challenges including: 1) poverty and an aging population; 2) cost of transformation; 3) complexity of transformation; 4) social services are necessary to support health; 5) continuity of coverage and equity in eligibility; 6) Infrastructure for health care is fragmented; and 7) risks/rewards that are not properly allocated.
