Quote:

“While declining COVID-19 cases are good news, the end of the pandemic could mean millions of Medicaid recipients will lose their coverage. Federal law has prevented states from terminating Medicaid benefits while the coronavirus health emergency is in place.”

 

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