Analysis Paper: Local Medicaid Policy
Review Box 10-1 ("Vignette") in Chapter 10 of your textbook. Develop a strategy to help the governor evaluate whether to expand Medicaid and create a state-run insurance exchange.
Box 10-1 Discussion Question
Are there alternatives to the individual mandate that accomplish the same goals without engendering so much political turmoil? Could policymakers have designed an incentive system that would be as effective as a mandate? What are the pros and cons of using a mandate versus an incentive? Can you think of incentives to encourage enrollment that have occurred in other parts of the healthcare system?
Be sure to advise the governor on how to engage with key stakeholders. Explain the role stakeholders should have in shaping these policy choices. Your strategy should suggest an approach to resolving value conflicts among stakeholders.
