HPM Professor Sara Rosenbaum is the first author of an Issue Brief on the Future of Medicaid published in the Commonwealth Fund. In "How Will Section 1115 Medicaid Expansion Demonstrations Inform Federal Policy?" Rosenbaum and her HPM colleagues discuss Section 1115 of the Social Security Act, which allows the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and states to test innovations in Medicaid and other public welfare programs without formal legislative action.
The paper is coauthored by Sara Schmucker, J.D., a senior HPM research associate; Sara Rothenberg, M.P.H., an HPM research associate; and Rachel Gunsalus, M.P.H. candidate, an HPM research assistant.
