Excerpt: "The Agency for Health Care Administration’s (AHCA’s) proposal to waive the federal Medicaid statute’s provision allowing for up to three months of retroactive Medicaid eligibility (RME) will have adverse impacts on access to health care—particularly for seniors and adults with disabilities—some of the most vulnerable in the state. This proposal is contrary to the objectives of the Medicaid Act, it undermines the purpose of the RME provision passed by Congress, and it fails to meet requisite criteria for a Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver."
