Abstract

Seeking to keep his promise to give states more flexibility while expanding health insurance coverage to low-income people, President George W. Bush released a proposal to reform Medicaid and The Children's Health Insurance Program. This initiative, the Health Insurance Flexibility and Accountability Act (HIFA), represents a significant change in Medicaid policy. Whether states will find this proposal a useful tool to expand coverage remains to be seen.

摘要

为履行向各州提供更大灵活性的承诺，同时扩大低收入人群的医疗保险覆盖范围，乔治·W·布什总统发布了一项改革医疗补助计划和儿童健康保险计划的提案。这项倡议，即《医疗保险灵活性与问责法案》（HIFA），代表了医疗补助政策的重大变化。各州是否会发现该提案是扩大覆盖范围的有用工具，还有待观察。
