HHS said it would allow Arkansas to add its newly eligible Medicaid members to a premium support system that includes copays to help poor residents afford private health insurance. If Indiana’s similar plan is approved, it would funnel $10.5 billion in new federal money through 2020, according to the report.
The bill has already passed the state senate and will go before the House if a public health committee votes to approve it today.
