The White House's most recent move to add work requirements to welfare programs may do little to alter Medicaid. President Donald Trump looked to strengthen his administration's plans to add work requirements to welfare programs, including Medicaid, in an executive order signed recently. The order directs the Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies to give more flexibility to states to install work requirements in their public assistance programs, strengthen existing work requirements and review their existing guidance and regulations to ensure they’re pushing people in these programs into employment programs.
Jeff Myers, president and chief executive officer of Medicaid Health Plans of America, said he's hoping the order prompts states seeking permission to install work requirements in their Medicaid programs to think more broadly about their programs serving the poor. He said many states want to combine insurance, housing and transportation programs to better tackle the issues poor people face, but they face policy barriers that prevent mixing of federal dollars for separate programs.

The debate at the Minnesota Capitol over a proposed work requirement for some on Medicaid has drawn renewed focus on 2014 — the year that more than 47,000 Minnesotans lost food stamp benefits after work requirements were reintroduced for that program. That number has now grown to 66,000 "able-bodied" Minnesota adults without dependents who have lost food stamp eligibility since the federal government reinstated work requirements that had been suspended due to high unemployment after the Great Recession.

A state budget that would expand enrollment in Virginia's Medicaid program cleared a Republican-led House committee for a second time Friday, with new provisions aimed at shoring up the individual insurance market and imposing tougher work requirements on Medicaid recipients. The House Appropriations Committee's action came three days into a special General Assembly session on the state budget, which Gov. Ralph Northam called after the legislature failed to pass a two-year spending plan in the regular session that ended March 10. The state needs a budget by July 1 to avert a government shutdown.

Republicans in Congress may have relented on their attempts to repeal the entire Affordable Care Act, but the battle has shifted to states. Citizens in Idaho, Utah, Missouri and Nebraska have taken Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act into their own hands via ballot initiative campaigns, hoping to force statewide votes to either adopt or reject expansion this coming November.

It was 7 a.m. on Wednesday, April 4, when Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam entered his executive conference room to meet with Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, House Speaker Beth Harwell and other Republican leaders from the Tennessee Senate and House. They gathered in the formal room before the hustle and bustle of a day at the Capitol during the legislative session. The meeting was a regular staple, one of countless similar gatherings over the years.
From the outside, lawmakers' entering Haslam's office may have looked innocuous. But inside, the big idea the governor floated would have defined his legacy.

Arizona has asked the CMS to allow it to end retroactive coverage for Medicaid beneficiaries. If granted, the waiver request now under review at the CMS, would nix providers' ability to bill for services provided in the three months before a beneficiary applies for Medicaid coverage, assuming the patient was eligible during that time.

Medicaid, the nation's joint federal-state health insurance program for the poor, is often described as providing a safety net — something to save the neediest people from disaster. But, as health insurance costs spiral rapidly upward, Colorado lawmakers and health care advocates increasingly say that it is the entire state that is facing a crisis. So, some of them are now proposing a radical, potentially first-in-the-nation idea: Why not let anyone buy their way into Medicaid, regardless of income?
