Book Description
Although mandated by federal law, Medicaid always has been fundamentally a matter of state business, primarily because states administer the program and receive only partial federal reimbursement for state expenditures. As health care costs have burgeoned over the past few decades, states have encountered growing pressure on numerous areas of their economies and budgets. In response, states increasingly desire permissible ways to reduce Medicaid costs, lobbying intensely for increased flexibility within federal Medicaid standards. The push for Medicaid reform is evident in the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), which developed in part as a response to state-level dissatisfaction with existing Medicaid program options such as waivers. The DRA spells significant changes for Medicaid, as it institutes deep revisions of some of the program's core elements. The most significant components of the DRA's reforms include the expansion of state options and the simplification of the option approval process. This article examines the newly available options that will most notably affect Medicaid services to the elderly, especially long-term care services, and it summarizes program revisions under consideration or active development.

Book Description
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA), signed into law in February 2006, set the stage for some of the most significant changes to Medicaid since the program's inception in 1965. It amended a number of other federal programs and aimed to achieve savings of nearly $100 billion for the federal government over a 10-year period, netting an estimated $28 billion or more from adjustments to Medicaid. These and other provisions could have grave consequences for low-income adults and children who need mental health services. The Bazelon Center recently completed a study of how states have reacted to the various new options available to them--both those that can improve the lives of people on Medicaid and those that might have negative consequences--and created nine tables covering each important state option.

Book Description
On December 19, 2005, the House agreed to a conference report on S. 1932. However, the Senate amended the report, removing a few provisions as the result of a point of order raised associated with the "Byrd Rule." The amended agreement passed the Senate on December 21, 2005, and was returned to the House for further action. It is expected that the agreement will be taken up in the early part of the session. This report provides a comparison of Medicare, Medicaid and State Child Health Insurance Program provisions contained in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (S. 1932) as amended and passed by the Senate. The report compares the bill's provisions with current law.

Elder Law in Context
Author: Rebecca C. MorganPublisher: Aspen Publishing
ISBN: 1454888032
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 966
Book Description
Elder Law in Context integrates cases, statutory materials, forms, policy and ethics to provide a well-rounded and comprehensive study of Elder Law. The book demonstrates that the law of any given practice area in reality isn't made up of discrete doctrinal areas but rather consists of interrelated and overlapping areas, and covers legal doctrine in contracts, agency, ethics, torts, constitutional law, administrative law, public law, criminal law and more, as they relate to Elder Law. This approach provides both an excellent and practical vehicle for learning Elder Law, but, by reviewing core doctrine from earlier and more foundational law school courses, it helps to prepare upper level students for the bar exam. The book provides ample opportunities for students to apply lessons, through the various problems and exercises throughout.
