Medicaid Block Grants: Lessons from Rhode Island's Global Waiver
Publication Year: 2013

This brief highlights findings from the SHARE-funded research project led by Dr. Edward Alan Miller (University of Massachusetts Boston) to evaluate the structure and implementation of the Rhode Island Global Consumer Choice Compact Medicaid Waiver (the "Global Waiver").  The authors discuss select findings from this project and the implications of these findings for the debate about block granting Medicaid and for health reform generally.  

Fact Sheet and Questionnaires from Minnesota Medicaid Enrollee Survey
Publication Year: 2013

The Affordable Care Act provides for the expansion of Medicaid to new segments of the population. The extent to which this coverage expansion will meaningfully increase access to health care services is, however, unclear. Surveys of the Medicaid population are one way to examine access to services and experiences with care.  

In 2008, SHADAC was contracted by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to survey enrollees in the Minnesota Health Care Program (which includes the state’s Medicaid program and its Medicaid/CHIP waiver program) with the goal of developing recommendations for improving the delivery of health care services to enrollees and reducing disparities in access and quality. 

In a new fact sheet meant to survey as a resource for states as they consider ways to evaluate access to care among those newly eligible for Medicaid, SHADAC researchers outline the survey’s purpose, content, and administration; the sample design; and the community-based approach used for survey development and analysis. 

Accompanying the new fact sheet are copies of the adult and child versions of the 2008 questionnaire.

The full report on the 2008 survey is available here.

State Estimates of the Low-Income Uninsured Not Eligible for the ACA Medicaid Expansion
Publication Year: 2013

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) will expand access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans. In states that choose to implement the Medicaid expansion for low-income adults, Medicaid will provide an important new pathway to coverage. Yet, even in states that choose to expand Medicaid a significant proportion of the low-income nonelderly adult population will be excluded from the Medicaid expansion due to their immigration status. Legal permanent residents, in most circumstances, are ineligible for Medicaid benefits for the first five years during which they reside legally in the U.S. and unauthorized immigrants are excluded from Medicaid coverage. This brief provides the first state-specific estimates of the number of uninsured low-income adults that will potentially be excluded from the Medicaid expansion because of their immigration status.
