New issue brief examines impact of Governor’s proposed Medicaid cuts
A new CTHPP
issue brief explores the Governor’s budget proposals for the Medicaid program,
CT’s largest coverage plan. The brief describes the costs of replacement
coverage from the insurance exchange for the 34,000 HUSKY parents who would be
cut in the Governor’s proposal. The brief also puts perspective on the cuts
compared to savings in the program over the last two years from care management
and quality reforms, declines in HUSKY A enrollment, and describes what could
be lost if funding for final implementation of the innovative health
neighborhood program is cut.
