Hall Center for Law and Health Virtual Grand Rounds: Health Policy and the Future of Medicaid Online
Featuring Sara Rosenbaum, Emerita Professor of Health Law and Policy at George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health!
This session will examine Medicaid’s role in society and why its future matters to all Americans.
From a modest companion to Medicare, Medicaid has grown into an insurer of approximately 1 in 5 Americans, the foundation on which rests the nation’s maternal and child health system, its system of mental health and substance use treatment, and its system of long-term services and supports. Medicaid makes Medicare work for tens of millions of low-income beneficiaries and is the platform on which a viable private insurance system depends to finance care for the most serious health risks. The entire system of safety net hospitals and clinics literally would not exist without Medicaid. We stand at a point of competing legislative visions for Medicaid’s future. One would preserve and strengthen Medicaid; the other would dismantle it without attention to the health system fallout for doing so.
