(prHWY.com) July 16, 2012 - Richmond, VA -- Richmond, Virginia - In its landmark ruling last month, the Supreme Court struck down the penalty for states that opted not to expand Medicaid coverage - a move that could drastically reduce the availability of Medicaid in certain states. A significant piece of legislation incorporated into health care reform during its passage in 2010 involves the expansion of coverage for 30 million Americans, including the enrollment of an additional 17 million people in Medicaid. During its recent review of Obamacare, in addition to eliminating the expansion policy, the high court also upheld a provision that gives states the freedom to make Medicaid coverage approval difficult to obtain starting in 2014. States were formerly prohibited from reducing eligibility or increasing the cost-sharing requirement for those enrolled in Medicaid. Those who rely on Medicaid for affordable
Virginia insurance stand to suffer from both of these developments.
At press time, state officials had not made any public statements about cutting Medicaid eligibility or opting out of program expansion. However, there has been a growing trend in recent years with state officials taking measures to decrease the cost of the program through various measures. Medicaid has historically provided affordable Virginia insurance to the poor, with eligibility determined by how far below the federal poverty level applicants fall.
