New Medicaid Study: ‘Waivers Are Temporary, Expansion Is Forever’

New Medicaid Study: ‘Waivers Are Temporary, Expansion Is Forever’ [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Just as it would be imprudent for anyone to enter into a legally enforceable written contract with the expectation that the he can later persuade the other party to waive parts that are no longer preferable, likewise agreeing to expand Medicaid ... based upon the hopes of procuring future waiver concessions is ill-advised," the study says.

"Any decision to accept the Medicaid expansion today should not be based on the illusory promise of a federal waiver tomorrow," the study concludes."
