Health Care: 100 Days & Beyond
Ellen J. Kugler, Esq.Managing Partner, Federal Affairs
• Uninsured rate fell from 17% to 9%
• 91% of Californians now have health care
coverage
• Nearly 14 million covered by Medi-Cal, including
4 million covered through Medi-Cal expansion
• 1.4 million insured through Covered California,
the state’s insurance marketplace
California Expanded Health Coverage in Recent Years

3
• Repeal of
• individual and employer mandates
• enhanced federal Medicaid matching rate for individuals up to 133% of FPL
• subsidies to help purchase insurance on exchanges
• hospitals’ authority to determine patient presumptive eligibility
• Restricts retroactive Medicaid eligibility
• Would require:
• proof of citizenship or legal status for Medicaid applicants
• redetermination of eligibility every 6 months
• Would replace
• current Medicaid financing with per capita caps
• subsidies with age-related tax credits
• Would allow states to waive the essential benefits and community rating requirements and others
The American Health Care Act: What it Proposes
4
• 14 million would lose insurance by 2018 • 21 million by 2021• 24 million by 2024• Federal funding for Medicaid would fall
$840 billion nation-wide over the next 10 years
CBO Assessment of the AHCA:National Implications
5
• 3 million Californians would lose health care
coverage by 2018
• The state would lose $12 billion a year in
Medicaid funding
• Hospitals could see charity care and bad debt
rise more than $3 billion a year
• Low-income families would be the most affected

Major Senate Proposals

Cassidy-Collins Patient Freedom Act• States could choose to:
– keep Obamacare– adopt market-based insurance system with federally funded Roth HSAs– adopt market-based insurance system with no federal support
Senator Rand Paul’s The Obamacare Replacement Act• Repeals ACA• Eliminates essential benefits requirement for insurance plans• Expands use of HSAs• Increases state flexibility through waivers
The Trump Administration & Obamacare
January 20 executive order, “Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal” directs all government agencies and officials with authorities under the ACA to:
• “Take all actions consistent with the law to minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens of the Act, and prepare to afford the States more flexibility and control to create a more free and open healthcare market”
• “Waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of” any requirements, including taxes, fees, and regulatory burdens, of the ACA
• Exercise authority and discretion to provide states greater flexibility and control over their health care programs and health insurance markets
• Encourage “free and open markets” and permit the sale and purchase of insurance across state lines

The Trump Administration& Obamacare

11
The Trump Administration& Obamacare
• HHS Secretary could:– choose not to fund ACA cost-sharing subsidies– tighten Medicaid rules on presumptive eligibility– grant waivers to states to loosen guidelines for implementing
Medicaid expansion– stop urging insurers to participate in exchanges– limit the individual mandate by granting hardship waivers
• HHS Secretary already has:– proposed relaxing requirements for including essential
community providers in health plans– reduced 2018 open enrollment period 50%– cut advertising for exchanges
12
• Medicaid DSH cuts: at least -$90 million in 2018 for CA hospitals and significantly more in later years
• Medicare DSH cuts in 2018: -$27 million in 2018 for CA hospitals and more than $450 million in 2020
• FQHC funding – a cut of $331 million a year to California health centers if not reauthorized– state has 176 FQHCs which serve more than 4 million patients a
year, 22% of whom are uninsured and 63% of whom are on Medi-Cal
• CHIP funding: - over $500 million/year to cover 1.9 million of California’s low-income children if not reauthorized

Q&A
First 101 Days of the Trump Presidency May 1, 2017
1. Q: What is the cost of all this immigration to California? Do you have any
data on that? A: Please check this reference page: http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=258
2. Q: Because unauthorized immigrants are a portion of all CA immigrants, when you use the term immigrants in this presentation, are you referring to all immigrants, those that are unauthorized, or is it mixed? It would be helpful to know for statistics presented. A: Answered during the webinar. Please listen to the recording.
3. Q: This seems to focus on all immigrants. Is this data broken into legal and
illegal status? A: Answered during the webinar. Please listen to the recording.
4. Q: I am interested in hearing more about what the Trump administration
has shared about his plans regarding DACA and what we can expect on the federal level. I would also love to hear whether CA has seen any reduction in the number of students who are applying for Dream Act funds due to insecurity around DACA repeal. A: The future of DACA is uncertain, especially with DACA beneficiaries who have either been detained or deported. There was concern that the number of applications to the CA Dream Act would be significantly reduced,
2
but due to aggressive outreach, the number this year has actually increased over last. The state is working now to ensure that data collected on students who lack social security numbers will be protected.
5. Q: What are "the exchanges"?
A: The exchange is another term for the ACA health insurance marketplace. Under the Affordable Care Act, each state was charged with setting up an organization aka exchange to facilitate the purchase of individual insurance products and the ACA subsidies. States that would participate in the federal exchange. In California, the exchange is called Covered California
6. Q: Is that medicare or medicaid DSH cuts in 2018? A: In my presentation, I referred to both. Medicaid DSH cuts are scheduled to begin in FY2018. Nationwide cuts are slated for approximately $2 billion. Regulations are not yet available to firmly state California’s share of those cuts. Medicare DSH cuts began in FY2014, new proposed regulations may mean hundreds of millions of dollars in additional cuts to California hospitals in FY2018.
7. Q: Is that 6000 per year in CA or US? A: US Help Links and Contact Information
