Resources on Idaho’s Medicaid Redesign Waiver Proposal

Don't Waiver on Health Care: Governor Kempthorne's Proposal for Medicaid Puts Idaho at Risk explores the Medicaid waiver that is being proposed by the governor and the Department of Health and Welfare. According to the report, the waiver will harm people who rely on Medicaid and shift health care costs onto counties, health care providers, and people who have health insurance, while failing to address the real cost drivers in Medicaid.
