Medicaid covers roughly half of all births, and more than 80 percent of NAS births, so the motivation of those working with the program to help and find solutions is high. This post on the effect of the opioid crisis on pregnant women and babies in Medicaid covers barriers in care delivery, policy obstacles and recommendations to improve outcomes.

Obamacare supporters are suing Maine Gov. Paul LePage's administration to force him to expand Medicaid, accusing the Republican of ignoring a ballot initiative that ordered the state to join the coverage program. LePage has refused to expand Medicaid nearly six months after 59 percent of the state's voters approved it in a first-of-its-kind ballot measure.

It could have extended coverage for roughly 150,000 people, but it would have come at a cost for a state where money is often a concern. Medicaid expansion barely made enough progress this year to ruffle those in the GOP-controlled Kansas Legislature who have long opposed such a move.
