“CMS overhaul of Medicaid may face legal challenges,” by Virgil Dickson, Modern Healthcare

“The CMS will approve requests coming in from various states to impose work requirements on Medicaid enrollees, according to CMS Administrator Seema Verma. While only a handful of states have asked for waivers for the requirement, others could follow.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

If CMS will approve waivers to require the able-bodied to work to receive Medicaid, then it’s hopeful waivers to reduce the LTC home equity exemption or close other eligibility loopholes would pass muster too.
