Talking Points:
-
With this change, the DPHHS and the Governor have made it easier to kick people off their health care by changing the Medicaid eligibility rules
-
The DPHHS needs to restore continuous eligibility
-
And moving forward, needs to go about redetermining eligibility requirements in a slower and more responsible way
-
Their current plan for changing eligibility is irresponsible – and could kick 43,000 Montanans off their health care
