"Instead of
forcing people to continue to battle complexity, payers can
invest in simplifying the ways consumers interact and engage
with healthcare. Because it’s not Americans who are failing in
healthcare system literacy. It’s the complexity of the system
that’s failing them." |

"Community
engagement" policies -- or work requirements -- for Medicaid
would result in narrow savings if correctly applied. If work
requirements were instituted nationwide, 2.8% of enrollees would
no longer be eligible for coverage, representing roughly 0.7% in
total Medicaid spending. In addition, in non-expansion states
that applied for these waivers, potential savings were estimated
to be less than 0.1% of Medicaid spending.
