The Budget Reconciliation Bill Will Cause Harm to the Health Care System
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Pub. Law No. 119-21) makes sweeping changes to the Medicaid program, the Marketplace plans, and private insurance.
ACS CAN submitted comments in July 2023 to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) expressing grave concerns about Arkansas' request to create work or engagement requirements in Medicaid.
Our concerns include that the proposed program will interrupt enrollees' continuity of care, deter enrollment in Medicaid, and that the proposal lacks sufficient detail for CMS to approve.
