This isn’t exactly bad news.
The head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) confirmed in a May 7 letter that New Hampshire, as of Jan. 1, 2019, will be able to require all beneficiaries of expanded Medicaid health insurance from ages 19 to 64 to participate in 100 hours per month of “community engagement activities, such as employment, education, job skills training or community service as a condition of Medicaid eligibility.”
It would be better if we had never expanded it in the first place but we’re here and the Republicans lack the stones to neuter Bradley Care, so I guess we have to pretend to be happy with this very small victory.
