Niklas Kleinworth testifies before the Medicaid committee

On Wednesday, August 9, IFF policy analyst Niklas Kleinworth testified before the Medicaid Managed Care Task Force, which was created by the Legislature to evaluate a managed care plan for Idaho's Medicaid program. Kleinworth explained that managed care has not been shown to decrease costs in states where it has been tried, rather Idaho needs to reduce enrollment, reduce service costs, and reduce service consumption.
