This Week in Government Healthcare | August 10th Edition

'Medicaid Messes And Nightmares’: Obstacles Abound In Treating Pregnant Women With Addictions.

PPACA's Spiraling Death: Californians Shaken By News Of Anthem’s Withdraw From Most Counties In State.

Advocacy groups in Pennsylvania oppose an effort to add a Medicaid work requirement for able-bodied adults to receive free, taxpayer-funded healthcare.

Nevada was one of 31 states to expand Medicaid eligibility from 100% to 135% of the Fed Poverty Level under Obamacare.  The result? Their Medicaid expansion has nearly TRIPLED from 232,000 to 638,000 with most of that expansion consisting of abled-bodied, childless adults.
