Bragdon, a nationally renowned health policy specialist with a focus on Medicaid reform, will present successful reform strategies occurring in Florida, Kansas and Louisiana. These market-based reforms give Medicaid patients a choice of several competing health plans, rather than the one or two plans available to patients trapped in Old Medicaid. Bragdon will also educate committee members on how Old Medicaid is failing patients and taxpayers, and offer recommendations Congress can pursue to provide states additional flexibility to achieve reforms that improve patient health and save taxpayer dollars.
