PPACA aims to expand health insurance coverage to over 95% of New Mexicans through Medicaid expansion and subsidies. It provides funding to expand community health centers, public health programs, and the healthcare workforce. The law also establishes regulations to increase access to care, reduce costs, and improve quality of care. It is projected to save over $1 trillion in health spending by 2029 while extending the solvency of Medicare. Counties are encouraged to maintain health councils to help coordinate services and apply for new grant opportunities under PPACA.

a PriMer
The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured provides information
and analysis on health care coverage and access for the low-income population,
with a special focus on Medicaid’s role and coverage of the uninsured. Begun
in 1991 and based in the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Washington, DC office,
the Commission is the largest operating program of the Foundation. The
Commission’s work is conducted by Foundation staff under the guidance of a
bipartisan group of national leaders and experts in health care and public policy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction…….........................................................................................1
The Medicaid program is the largest health insurance program in the U.S., covering millions of
the poorest individuals and families in the nation. As such, Medicaid is also a key source of
health care financing. Medicaid covers many people with disabilities and complex needs, and
the program has been an important locus of innovation and improvement in health care delivery
and payment. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expands Medicaid significantly beginning in 2014.
The expanded Medicaid program is integral to the broader framework the ACA creates to cover
the uninsured.
What is Medicaid?.....................................................................................3
Medicaid is the main publicly financed health coverage program for low-income Americans,
most of whom lack access to the private health insurance system. Medicaid is also the dominant
source of coverage for nursing home and community-based long-term services and supports.
The program provides core support for the health centers and safety-net hospitals that serve
low-income and uninsured people and provide essential community services like trauma care
and neonatal intensive care. States design and administer their own Medicaid programs within
broad federal guidelines.
Who Does Medicaid Cover?.......................................................................7
Medicaid covers more than 62 million people, or 1 in 5 Americans. It covers more 1 in 3 children
and some of their parents, and 40% of all births. It also covers millions of people with severe
disabilities, and provides extra assistance to poor Medicare beneficiaries. Historically, the
program has excluded most non-elderly adults, but the ACA expands Medicaid beginning in
2014, making it broadly a program for people under age 65 with income at or below 138% of the
federal poverty level. Each state will decide whether to adopt the Medicaid expansion.
What Does Medicaid Cover?....................................................................13
Medicaid covers a wide spectrum of services to meet its beneficiaries’ diverse needs. Medicaid
benefits for children are uniquely c ...

The White House Issue: Health reforms
The Health Care Reforms are the best obsession for the United States, Majorly most of the American citizens who were responsible for originating the improvement found it helpful. Back in the year 2011, a countrywide crackdown was conducted as a way to oppose the frauds that were becoming a health concern, and the federal administration recovered almost $ 4.1 billion. The Health Care Improvement for capturing the healthcare frauds and scams allowed President Obama’s policy to enhance on strict penalties like compensation and fines. By providing the United States citizens with Patient Protection as well as, ACA (Affordable Care Act) was the ultimate presidential success for President Barack Obama (.whitehouse., 2014).
The public policy
As most of the leaders decided to adopt a firm stand with the many important issues within the American State, the essential point was the definition of the improvement of the Health Care in the United States by President Barack Obama and when discussing the fitness and care reform a lot of issues are put on focus.
The public policies are categorized into four groups which are the regulatory policy, the distributive policy, the redistributive policy and lastly the constituent policy. Every issue in the White House is organized it the way it is related to any of the four types of public systems (NCBI, 2016). The financial regime faces most of the significant issues, and many may need to be in a position to determine the problems which are related to funding system because some of these issues affect some of the American citizens.
Distributive policy as mentioned above, it is a policy that focuses on supporting the selected issues; the strategy that is behind the distributive health care is the local understanding and having a flexible organizational design. The idea of distribution is quite broad as it classifies distributive policy action towards including all the public processes that are responsible for developing as well as providing equitable access to the resources. In regards to the health issues, this may have financial aid for assisting the excluded to have access to the healthcare. Also, across funding aid to assist in the inside operations of the health institutions such as the combination of threats which enhances the inclusion of reasonably inadequate health services. Also, the appointment systems facilitate the secondary concern for the needy to access health services (Mackintosh, 2013). It also reduces the shifts regarding the fitness care regime in processes that will be able to satisfy and offer the proper access to those who are deprived by supporting the distributive promises that the government has made and having full access to healthcare services. In this kind of shift, the significant disadvantage is ...
Past President Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson enacted ACTS and legislation to help the United States Poor to ensure they has proper health care insurance. “The Social Security Act was passed by Congress as part of President Roosevelt’s Second New Deal agenda. In signing the Act into law on August 14, 1935, Roosevelt became the first president to advocate for and create legislation for the provision of governmental assistance for the elderly at the federal level” (CSU, 2015). Considering the new policies and new developments of the country to ensure that housing, food, and work was also available. Time was surely of the essence considering it was the turn of the century and the United States was implementing new changes and programs within the United States.
4. In 2009, one in six US dollars was spent on health care. It is projected by the CBO that without PPACA by 2016, at least half of all US households will have to spend half of their total income on health care.
5. In New Mexico, prior to PPACA, 23% of people, or 400,000 New Mexicans, were without health insurance. Texas was the only state with a higher rate of uninsured: 24%.
6. Prior to PPACA 80 New Mexicans lost their insurance every day.
7. In the year 2000, the average insurance premium for a family of four was $6,222. By 2006, this rate had nearly doubled to $11,279.
8.
9. PPACA provides for immediate access to affordable coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. Children with pre-existing conditions are covered immediately. As of July 1, adults uncovered due to a pre-existing condition can be covered through a temporary high risk pool.
10. Insurers must offer their policies to all people. They may not discriminate against specific genders, ethnicities or individuals suffering from illness. Policies must be renewable.
12. PPACA prohibits recission, the practice of retroactively cancelling coverage once an illness is diagnosed.
13. Children are now covered under parents’ plans up to the age of 26.
14. All policies must now cover preventive services without a co-pay.What death panels?
15. If you like your current coverage, you can keep it. PPACA mandates a basic minimum insurance package so that coverage will be effective. PPACA caps out of pocket expenses. A recent Harvard study showed that more than ½ of all US bankruptcies were caused by medical expenses. More than ¾ of medically related bankruptcies occurred to insured individuals. PPACA ends egregious industry abuses like the ones discussed above. The industry can earn a profit, but not at the expense of care. Market Reforms PPACA makes your coverage secure
16. Health Center and Workforce Expansion A Revolutionary Change for New Mexico
17.
18. New Mexico ranks last nationally in access to care and use of preventive care.
19. 32 out of 33 New Mexico counties experience a workforce shortage.
20. There is no dental school anywhere in New Mexico.
21. $9.5 billion is allocated nationally for community health and mental health centers to expand services, infrastructure and hours of service.
22. An additional $230 million is allocated for establishing and expanding primary care residency programs as Teaching Health Centers. This means that your local primary care clinic can become a teaching center for health professionals.
23. Increases to both Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for CHCs makes them more attractive to health professionals.
24. PPACA creates a federal workforce commission to ask why there is a workforce shortage. Senator Bingaman crafted the 2009 Health Action and Supply Professions Act, which was inserted into PPACA, with NM in mind, so all preferences are given to rural and low-income communities for workforce development funding.Health Center Expansion
25. PPACA allocates $1.5 billion into the National Health Service Corps which will place 15,000 new health care professionals in rural and underserved areas. PPACA increases federal loan assistance for new and current primary care providers. PPACA will establish graduate nursing education programs. This provision will help nursing students in rural and underserved communities to overcome obstacles that prevent their graduation. PPACA increases Medicaid payments to primary care physicians and Medicare payments to rural physicians and surgeons, even in Clayton. PPACA will require one standardized form for payment. A national study found that the average spends 142 hours and $68,274 annually interacting with health plans. This is time that will now be spent on patient care. Workforce Expansion
27. PPACA authorizes $150 million to support construction and modernization of SBHCs Other grants available through HRSA/HHS will fund salaries and costs, allowing SBHCs to operate 24-hour call and year round services. SBHCs will be allowed to see parents and will provide mental health services. Preference will be given to SBHCs that serve high percentages of Medicaid eligible patients. Expansion of SBHCs strengthens schools. Expansion of SBHCs increases access to mental health services to New Mexico families. School-Based Health Clinic Expansion
29. PPACA authorizes and appropriates $11 Billion Fund for Prevention and Public Health Allocation of funds increases incrementally each year up to 2015. For example, in 2010, $500 million will be spent in 2010, $750 million in 2011, etc., until 2015 when $2 billion will be spent which is the amount funded that year and thereafter. Many of these prevention grants will require community health coalitions. New Mexico, with its county health councils, stands to benefit, IF we maintain the councils. In FY10, the HHS Secretary determines how this fund will be allocated. In subsequent years, the Senate and House subcommittee on appropriations will determine how the funds are allocated. Largest Infusion of Public Health Funds EVER!

37. Tax credits for low and middle income individuals up to 400% of FPL to ensure affordability of quality coverage According to CBO, insurance market reforms combined with tax credits will reduce coverage cost on the individual/private market on the average New Mexico family by 56% to 59%. Expansion of Access Through Subsidies and Private Insurance Reform
38.
39. $3.1-$5.6 billion will be spent by federal government in New Mexico for Medicaid funding
41. A total of $6-$9 billion will be spent in New Mexico for this bill
42. PPACA has already brought $84 million into New Mexico in new grantsHow tax credits and Medicaid expansion help New Mexico
43. Hospitals must define “community benefit” through a coalition-based needs assessment involving other stakeholders (i.e., health councils) Hospitals must document actual funding for newly defined community benefit CMS will penalize hospitals with high readmission rates, thus encouraging formation of councils and “ACOs” Counties and communities with health councils will find it easier to apply for grant-based funding New IRS Hospital Reporting Requirements Offer Opportunities for Counties
45. $143 Billion by 2019 according to the CBO $1 Trillion by 2029 according to the CBO Saves the Medicare Trust Fund from Bankruptcy PPACA reduces the federal defict
