  6. Reminder: this is a working-age adult population that is optional to cover and wasn’t even eligible for Medicaid less than a decade ago. And by the way – if a state doesn’t want to use this waiver, they don’t have to.

  7. The HAO is grounded in legal authority [1115(a)(2)] that has long been used to extend coverage to optional populations with more flexibility than what is required under the Medicaid statute.

  9. So let’s have an honest conversation grounded in facts. HAO benefits must be, at minimum, those offered in the private market Obamacare exchanges, with additional requirements for prescription drug coverage.

  10. States have been dealing with capped funding in their CHIP programs for decades. And 1115 waivers have always included an agreement to manage the growth of funding to protect federal taxpayers.

  11. So much hyperbole about yesterday’s announcement! Only in Washington is an attempt to slow the growth of a program to the rate of inflation considered a devastating cut.

  12. Again, HAO offers a new opportunity to increase state negotiating power through the use of prescription drug formularies, while ensuring people have options across all drug types and added special protections for people w/ HIV or behavioral health needs.

  13. Let’s set the record straight - the Massachusetts proposal for a drug formulary targeted a broader population of individuals. The HAO demonstration is limited to certain optional adult beneficiaries, which allows for broader flexibility to apply a formulary.

  14. Today, CMS is announcing the proposed Notice of Benefit & Payment Parameters Rule which includes various provisions targeted at lowering premiums, strengthening insurance markets & guaranteeing that premium tax credits are going to the right people & paying for the right benefits

  15. No change for states who don’t want to participate. No cuts for those who do. No one gets less, but must agree to manage growth going forward.

  16. It’s a myth that our new guidance will slash Medicaid funding. The fact is that budgets will be set based on historic spending & will continue to grow as they have up to inflation.
