Bill Frist: Flexibility Needed in ACA’s Medicaid Expansion
In a Politico opinion piece, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) argues that a state's "decision not to expand Medicaid leaves glaring inequities in coverage that [the Affordable Care Act] was intended to eliminate." He concludes that "if the Obama administration wants to entice more states into broadening coverage, it needs to accept that premium assistance will continue to be a growing segment of the Medicaid program."
