West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin unveiled legislation Monday aimed at helping the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) improve its ability to stop suspicious shipments of opioids from flooding communities. Manchin's bill changes a law that drew a firestorm of criticism after an explosive "60 Minutes"–The Washington Post joint investigation reported the bill made it harder for the DEA to freeze opioid shipments from drug companies in the midst of a full-blown crisis.

The Trump administration is hoping to transform Medicaid by allowing states to test work requirements, premiums and other conservative policies, but a new government report says federal and state officials do not properly evaluate whether such experiments improve patient care or reduce costs.

The Trump administration on Monday approved Arkansas' request for a Medicaid work requirement but deferred a decision on the state's request to roll back its Medicaid expansion that has added 300,000 adults to the program. Arkansas had sought to reduce the number of people eligible for Medicaid by allowing only those with incomes below the federal poverty level, or about $12,140 for an individual, to qualify. For the past four years, Arkansas Medicaid covered everyone with incomes under 138 percent of the poverty level, or about $16,750. The new policy would have cut the number of people eligible for Medicaid in the state by about 60,000 people.

The Columbus Dispatch
Advocates, healthcare providers and others slammed an Ohio state plan on Thursday that would require most non-disabled adults on Medicaid to work or lose their tax-funded healthcare. At a public hearing in Columbus, many complained it would force Ohio's poorest and most vulnerable citizens off Medicaid rolls by creating additional obstacles to accessing care. Most of those who can work do, they said, an argument state officials confirm.

The Louisiana House voted 69-29 for legislation Friday (March 2) that was originally aimed at requiring some Medicaid recipients to work to receive their government health benefits, but that has been altered such that Medicaid recipients who refused to work couldn't actually lose their healthcare. The Senate would still have to take up the bill for consideration before it is implemented.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Friday gently warned state budget negotiators to send him a spending plan that includes Medicaid expansion or he will add expansion as an amendment, a procedure that gives him a stronger hand in the Senate. If forced to go that route, Northam said, he would have more power to shape an expansion deal already passed by House Republicans that calls for work requirements, copays and other conservative measures.

Under the shadow of the Bell Tower on Capitol Square, hundreds of people from across Virginia rallied on a rainy Thursday in support of a state budget that would expand Medicaid to about 400,000 low-income residents. Medicaid expansion is included in the budget approved by the House of Delegates. It also would add a work requirement for those seeking coverage. The budget passed by the Senate would not expand Medicaid. The two chambers must work out their differences and pass a budget before the legislative session ends March 10.

It was, for many, the end of months of anticipation. The release last month of the Republican plan to reauthorize New Hampshire's Medicaid expansion program — sponsored by Senate President Chuck Morse and Majority Leader Jeb Bradley — provided a first glimpse at one of the state's most significant, controversial pieces of legislation. The program, which presently provides healthcare to more than 50,000 Granite Staters, would be updated with a new delivery system, new funding mechanisms and a long-sought work requirement. Dozens showed up to a hearing after its release, voicing both support and skepticism.
