Dear Health Advocates,
We hope you had a great weekend! As we come to the end of Medicaid Awareness Month, we have a few new resources to lift up this week, including a new insights blog from Families USA on Medicaid unwinding and where we go from here.
We are also lifting up 3 other resources this week. The first is a press release from Families USA on the Supreme Court case heard last week on the emergency care ban. The second is a statement from Families USA on the new managed care rules related to Medicaid released by the Biden Harris Administration.
The last resource we'd like to highlight comes from our friends at NILC, who just released a paper on improving access to Medicaid for those with limited English proficiency after the issuing of the 1557 Final Rule. You can find more on all of this below, along with this week’s new opportunities and resources: |
