States recently went through a period of rising Medicaid costs and declining revenue, creating pressure to cut the program, while economic hardships, population expansion, and changes in the private sector created counter pressures to swell its ranks. This roundtable, organized and moderated by Alan Weil, presents a variety of perspectives on recent events, including a national overview of how Medicaid and SCHIP fared relative to other state priorities, one state's experience with significant cuts and the research questions that arose from them, and another state's use of research and evidence to prevent having to make drastic reductions to its programs.
各州近期经历了医疗补助成本上升和收入下降的时期，这给削减该项目带来了压力，而经济困难、人口增长以及私营部门的变化又产生了扩大其规模的反压力。由艾伦·韦尔组织并主持的这次圆桌会议，呈现了对近期事件的各种观点，包括对医疗补助和儿童健康保险计划相对于其他州优先事项表现的全国性概述、一个州大幅削减计划的经历以及由此产生的研究问题，还有另一个州利用研究和证据来避免大幅削减其项目的情况。
