Keeping Medicaid Sustainable While Prioritizing the Vulnerable

American Enterprise Institute

The unsustainability of future federal budget deficits necessitates reduced entitlement spending. Finding savings from Medicaid will likely be a central part of this year’s budget debate. What are the costs and benefits of various reform proposals affecting children, working-age adults, and the elderly? How can policymakers best prioritize vulnerable populations as they debate ways to make Medicaid spending growth sustainable? In this event, hear experts weigh in on the most promising ways to balance fiscal responsibility and provide health care to the needy.
