Children’s Coverage Recommendations: Draft Specifications

At MACPAC’s previous meeting in May 2016, Commissioners discussed the key components of a package of recommendations for the future of CHIP and children’s coverage. At Commissioners’ direction, staff presented a strawman proposal at the September 2016 Commission meeting, to spark discussion on possible design elements for a recommendation. This presentation summarizes the elements of the strawman proposal for Commissioner discussion.  The Commission expects to discuss this proposal further in October and to vote on a formal package of children’s coverage recommendations in December 2016.
