Chuck Milligan Presents Paper at NGA State Summit on Health Reform

Hilltop Executive Director Chuck Milligan presented his paper, entitled Reshaping Medicaid, at the National Governors Association (NGA) State Summit on Health Reform on March 15, 2010, in Washington, DC. This invitational summit brought together four key stakeholders from each state—the Governor’s health policy advisor, the state’s Medicaid Director, the state’s Insurance Superintendant, and another individual selected at the state’s discretion—to explore and discuss health reform from the state perspective. The session, entitled Modernizing and Expanding Medicaid, focused on emerging opportunities and challenges in Medicaid, related to and independent of federal health reform. Following presentation of his paper, Milligan moderated a panel discussion that included Cindy Mann, Director of the Center for Medicaid and State Operations, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Carol Steckel, Commissioner of the Alabama Medicaid Agency; and Jason Helgerson, Medicaid Director, Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
