The Impact of the Supreme Court's Decision on the Future of Medicaid
Thursday, September 13, 2012
In the PPACA decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not coerce states into expanding Medicaid under PPACA by witholding existing Medicaid funds. With uncertainty created by upcoming elections, invited panelists will set forth the issues regarding Georgia's current Medicaid system and discuss how the Medicaid landscape may change in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision making the expansion of Medicaid optional for states.
