The Department of Health and Human Services established an advisory commission that will help identify the reforms necessary to stabilize and strengthen Medicaid so it can continue to serve our most vulnerable citizens.  The Medicaid commission must submit two reports, the first, due Sept. 1, will outline recommendations for Medicaid to achieve $10 billion in savings during the next five years as well as ways to begin meaningful long-term enhancements that can better serve beneficiaries. The commission, for its first report, also will consider potential performance goals for Medicaid.
