States will now be able to all but opt out of Medicaid. ~Bobert
Good news Bob!
Not according to the information I posted on this thread in the "Returning to the Topic" link.
The federal plan would expand Medicaid to cover poor, able-bodied adults who are not parents in addition to poor children, elderly, pregnant women and those with disabilities. [The recent Supreme Court decision gives states the option to opt out of the Medicaid expansion without penalty.] The Massachusetts plan expands Medicaid coverage to more children.
