Health Insurance

This resource contains the agenda and materials for the February 2011 Reform Matters conference call. On this call we discussed Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act, as well as threats to Medicaid at the state and federal levels.

Even as various provisions of the new health care law take effect — and millions of women and their families are realizing the benefits — opponents are continuing their attacks. Next week, the House scheduled to vote on a bill that would repeal that law, and other legislation has been proposed to repeal specific provisions. Additionally, last December, the Chairs of the Deficit Commission released a list of proposals that would have broad and harmful implications for Medicaid and Medicare. As we begin the new Congressional session, hear from key House and Senate staff about the challenges we may see.
