A Forum on Medicaid and State Budgets: A Summary (Special Issue)
For almost every state in the U.S., the
Medicaid program, which provides
health care coverage to 41 million families
and 14 million elderly and disabled
people, is the largest single budget item.
It is often seen as the source of considerable
budgetary stress. This forum on
Medicaid and state budgets brought
together top researchers and government
leaders to discuss funding and
policy issues as well as best practices.
