AHLA's Speaking of Health Law · Financing Medicaid Payments: Past, Present, and Future After the OBBBA · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

Thanks, Kat.

Hi everybody.

Uh my name's Baxter Morgan.

I'm senior counsel with Hush Blackwell in Austin, Texas.

And worked with CAP for a number of years, and both of us have spent a long time in the Medicaid payment and finance space working on these issues.

uh by the state or unit of government uh towards treating Medicaid beneficiaries and the other, you know, folks in that community.

Uh, that's a critical part of this.

You know, over the years this there there have been sort of evolving fights over what that means.
