In the framework of the celebration of the twelve years of the Affordable Care Act (ACA, for its acronym in English), El Centro Hispano (ECH) asks state legislators to prioritize the expansion of the Medicaid program during the next period of ordinary sessions, known as a “short session.”
The state of emergency declared nation-wide due to COVID-19 led to the creation of public health policies that aimed to protect citizens from the health contingency. The laws included continuous Medicaid coverage under which beneficiaries were guaranteed uninterrupted coverage, with no need for an annual redetermination on the basis of changes in their household or their income.
