Book excerpt: Medicaid, a $436 billion federal and state health care program for low- income individuals and families, is a significant and growing expenditure. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to waive certain Medicaid requirements and allow otherwise uncovered costs for demonstration projects that are likely to promote Medicaid objectives. By HHS policy, these demonstrations should be budget neutral, that is, not increase federal spending over what it would have been if the state's existing program had continued. States estimate what their spending would have been without the demonstration, and HHS approves a spending based on projected spending. This report reviewed HHS approval of recent Medicaid section 1115 demonstrations. It examined (1) the purpose of new demonstrations, and (2) the extent to which HHS's policy and process for reviewing proposed demonstration spending provide assurances that federal costs will not increase. Tables and figure. This is a print on demand report.

This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's hard to imagine discussing welfare policy without discussing race, yet all too often this uncomfortable factor is avoided or simply ignored. Sometimes the relationship between welfare and race is treated as so self-evident as to need no further attention; equally often, race in the context of welfare is glossed over, lest it raise hard questions about racism in American society as a whole. Either way, ducking the issue misrepresents the facts and misleads the public and policy-makers alike. Many scholars have addressed specific aspects of this subject, but until now there has been no single integrated overview. Race and the Politics of Welfare Reform is designed to fill this need and provide a forum for a range of voices and perspectives that reaffirm the key role race has played--and continues to play--in our approach to poverty. The essays collected here offer a systematic, step-by-step approach to the issue. Part 1 traces the evolution of welfare from the 1930s to the sweeping Clinton-era reforms, providing a historical context within which to consider today's attitudes and strategies. Part 2 looks at media representation and public perception, observing, for instance, that although blacks accounted for only about one-third of America's poor from 1967 to 1992, they featured in nearly two-thirds of news stories on poverty, a bias inevitably reflected in public attitudes. Part 3 discusses public discourse, asking questions like "Whose voices get heard and why?" and "What does 'race' mean to different constituencies?" For although "old-fashioned" racism has been replaced by euphemism, many of the same underlying prejudices still drive welfare debates--and indeed are all the more pernicious for being unspoken. Part 4 examines policy choices and implementation, showing how even the best-intentioned reform often simply displaces institutional inequities to the individual level--bias exercised case by case but no less discriminatory in effect. Part 5 explores the effects of welfare reform and the implications of transferring policy-making to the states, where local politics and increasing use of referendum balloting introduce new, often unpredictable concerns. Finally, Frances Fox Piven's concluding commentary, "Why Welfare Is Racist," offers a provocative response to the views expressed in the pages that have gone before--intended not as a "last word" but rather as the opening argument in an ongoing, necessary, and newly envisioned national debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanding Medicaid coverage to individuals under 65 years old with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level (FPL), many states have found the increased enrollment burdensome on the state budget. States have used Section 1115 waivers to implement new requirements to receiving coverage. These waivers offer states flexibility in administering Medicaid programs in their state as long as the policies of the waiver are in line with the overarching goals of Medicaid. A recent trend in Section 1115 demonstrations is the inclusion of work requirements and cost-sharing premiums as conditions of eligibility. This study examines the recent waiver approvals in Kentucky and Arkansas that include work requirements. Specifically, this study analyzes the financial implications of changes in enrollment or per capita costs that might result from such a major change in conditions of eligibility. The results of the financial simulations demonstrate that slight changes in enrollment or cost estimates can have significant impacts on the overall savings of a Section 1115 waiver. This is due largely in part to the size of the Medicaid programs in these states and nationwide. Consequently, it is important to understand the estimated effect of work requirements and cost-sharing initiatives to more accurately predict Medicaid costs. Ultimately, the findings of this study show the growing importance of Section 1115 waivers and the need to understand the financial implications of new policies.
