'To play or not to play: Dual Eligible Integration Models, Challenges and Critical Success Factors:' A free webinar by PwC | June 12 | 3 p.m. EST
PwC
The Dual Eligible Financial Alignment Demonstration and state waivers are changing the face of the dual eligible marketplace. States are tackling dual eligibles in different ways, which means that plans cannot approach this population as "one size fits all." Health plans need to understand their market and regulatory environment and then consider if, when and how to successfully enter this market.
Objectives:
- Gain insights into the arrangements states are using to manage the duals population
- Understand the challenges and opportunities for health plans as the new marketplace evolves
- Understand the success factors required to prevail in the new duals marketplace
- Gain awareness of solutions being used by plans as they pursue participation in new state programs

Selling of Obamacare underway
Politico
The Obama administration is reaching out to Democrats and Republicans in Congress as it gears up to try to sell Obamacare to the public this summer.
Ohio Senate drops Medicaid expansion
The Blade
The Ohio Senate's take on a $62 billion, two-year budget is headed for a vote, complete with $1.4 billion in tax relief for small business owners and more money for K-12 schools than either the House or Gov. John Kasich had proposed.
Wisconsin budget committee upholds governor's rejection of
Medicaid expansion
Wisconsin Reporter
Republican lawmakers in control of the state's purse strings rejected federal dollars to expand Medicaid coverage in Wisconsin. Joint Finance Committee Republicans followed through on Gov. Scott Walker's February announcement that his administration would not seek some $4.4 billion in federal money to expand BadgerCare, the state's Medicaid program.
Arizona House leader moves forward on budget, Medicaid
The Arizona Republic
Saying he was running out of time and patience in negotiations with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer over Medicaid expansion, Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin ended a nearly three-week standoff by putting into play the state budget and healthcare program for Arizona's poor.
Arizona governor becomes unlikely ally of Obamacare
Politico
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has become an unlikely warrior for Obamacare. Brewer is a conservative Republican who sued to topple the health law, refused to set up a health insurance exchange and memorably wagged her finger at President Barack Obama on a Phoenix airport tarmac. But now she's so determined to put the Obamacare Medicaid expansion in place in her state that she's vetoing any legislation that reaches her desk until the Republican legislature caves.
Mississippi governor opposes Democrats' Medicaid expansion alternative
The Clarion-Ledger
Mississippi House Democrats recently proposed an "alternative" to Medicaid expansion that would use federal money to buy insurance for 300,000 of the state's working poor, similar to a proposal in Arkansas. But Gov. Phil Bryant and other Republicans said the Democrats' plan is just a repackaged Medicaid expansion as called for with the Affordable Care Act, which they oppose.

Doctors, hospitals, unions push to stop Medi-Cal cuts
The Sacramento Bee
Thousands of doctors, nurses, unionized health care workers and Medi-Cal patients flocked to the Capitol to protest possible cuts to the Medi-Cal program. California Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed budget calls for a 10 percent reduction in payment to Medi-Cal providers, a move that opponents say would reduce the poorest patients' access to healthcare.
Oklahoma considers Medicaid managed care options
Heartland
In the wake of the denial of a Medicaid waiver by President Barack Obama's healthcare regulators, Oklahoma policymakers are considering pursuing market-oriented reforms of their Medicaid program, changes that have previously secured federal waivers for three other states from administrators in Washington.
