Thread: Language in leaked draft of the Senate COVID-19 bill could cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose #Medicaid during the public health crisis by weakening the “maintenance of effort” provision in the bipartisan Families First Act. 1/
Families First increases #Medicaid state match and requires that states maintain coverage for current beneficiaries and those that become eligible during the crisis. 2/
The draft would effectively let governors essentially check a box anytime in the next 30 days if they want to keep terminating coverage for people during the Public Health Emergency. 3/
Without the MOE many people who have lost their jobs would lose coverage based on old information unless they could submit extra paperwork to stay eligible. The end result could be hundreds of thousands more people uninsured at the worst possible time. 4/
Status of leaked draft is unclear but Congress should definitely strike this language before finalizing. end/
