State Medicaid Coverage, Costs Grow In Maryland, Mississippi
"A year into a new effort to expand health coverage, recession-weary Marylanders are flocking to the state"s Medicaid program in numbers far greater than expected, costing the state $50 million more in the process," The Baltimore Sun reports. "As of this week, 44,255 additional state residents had enrolled in Maryland"s Medicaid system after income limits were significantly relaxed, outpacing projections that enrollment would increase by 26,605." Health advocates say "the state is doing the right thing by expanding publicly funded health care to adults who have children," but "increased enrollment has also enlarged the price tag." And "while the federal government picks up half the cost, the higher expenses come as Maryland is battling severe budget shortfalls. State health spending has been propped up this year by a major influx of stimulus dollars. Proponents had hoped to extend the public plan to adults without children this year, but the initiative was a victim of state budget constraints" (Fisher, 7/2).

President Obama To Engage AARP Members At Health Care Town Hall

President Barack Obama will join AARP leaders and members tomorrow for the next in a series of national tele-town hall meetings on the need for quality, affordable health care choices for every American. The Association"s town hall meetings have now reached nearly one million of its members and volunteers nationwide. "The president knows the support of the 50-plus community will be critical for health care reform," said AARP Chief Communications Officer Kevin Donnellan. "This is an important opportunity for him to hear and respond to questions our members have about health care reform, whether about changes to Medicare or affordable coverage for people age 50-64." Tuesday"s event will be the tenth national AARP tele-town hall held as part of AARP"s Health Action Now campaign. During each town hall, hundreds of thousands of AARP members are invited to join a call where they can have their questions answered by AARP officials and other guests, which have included Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the White House Office of Health Reform. Listeners can also ask to be connected directly to their members of Congress. Donnellan added: "Our most important responsibility is to make sure our 40 million members have accurate, objective information about how health care reform will impact them. With the health care debate too often dominated by scare tactics and misinformation, it"s important that everyone understand the facts." The AARP town hall with the president will be streamed live at http://www.aarp.org/townhall. For more information about AARP"s Health Action Now campaign, please visit http://www.healthactionnow.org.
