Description

Medicaid is a federal- and state-subsidized health insurance program that covers about 75 million lower income people and is one of the largest payers for health care in the United States. In the past few years, Medicaid has been the center of a number of political storms, including the expansion of state coverage and inclusion of so-called ‘work requirements.’ What does the future hold for Medicaid?

This event was free and open to the public.
