Supreme Court: States May Cut Medicaid Coverage

Lynchburg, VA (prHWY.com) July 16, 2012 - Lynchburg, Virginia - The availability of Medicaid could be reduced significantly in certain states, due to the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on Obamacare last month. The legislation, passed in 2010, featured provisions intended to drive the expansion of health insurance coverage for 30 million Americans, including the enrollment of an additional 17 million people in Medicaid. However, during its recent review of the health care reform law, justices struck down the penalty for states that opted not to expand Medicaid coverage. Furthermore, the high court also upheld a provision that gives states the freedom to make Medicaid coverage approval difficult to obtain starting in 2014 - whereas state officials were formerly prohibited from reducing eligibility.

With the economy still struggling and the job market making a slow recovery, these rulings have caused concern among some United States residents. Those who fall into the poverty bracket and rely on Medicaid for affordable health insurance stand to suffer from these developments.

No state officials had made any public comments at press time about opting out of program expansion, but there has been a growing trend in recent years with states taking measures to decrease the cost of Medicaid through various strategies. Medicaid has historically provided affordable health insurance to the poor, with eligibility determined by how far applicants fall below the federal poverty level.
