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

And as long as it's, you know, we we can see the line going from provider to state to patient services, you know, that's gonna be okay.

But you know, what happened over time was these programs grew and grew and grew.

And so when um

When CMS and Congress, well, when Congress and the and the administration really were looking at ways to reduce federal expenditures overall, it didn't matter where it came from.

Um, healthcare expenditures and Medicaid were probably the easiest target.

And this sort of funding mechanism of using a tax to finance the non-federal share of these ever increasing managed care payments just became an easy target.

for reductions.

And so that led to, you know, a bunch of the cuts that we saw in cattle and

throw it over you and see if you want to maybe talk about those cuts and sort of what those limits are and how that's how that's coming in.

Yeah, and I I think those

I I I think what we're gonna see now that we we finally you know, we got like dear stakeholder letters over the past few months related to the payments and then the taxes.

And now we've seen the first rule published that's really just dealing with the payment side.

of the OB three issues.

I I do think it's funny, Kat, you know, you mentioned the name and the the rule says CMS refers to this as the Working Families Tax Cut Relief Act because I guess they get embarrassed by calling it OB three.

What it's a it's a beautiful name.

It's the biggest, it's the beauty most beautifulest.

I don't know what the problem is.

But yeah, I think we're all kinda s we we all learned to say shorthand for it and it's it's gonna be difficult to change, kinda like I still call it Twitter instead of whatever they call it now.
