“For much of the last twenty-five years, journalism has asked Muslims to translate the reality of wars on the field, to explain terrorism, and contextualize cycles of violence. It has been far less interested in trusting us to tell stories about communities we know best. Or simply as reporters.”

As states implement OBBBA’s Medicaid work requirements, MACs and BACs can help elevate enrollee voices, identify problems, and reduce administrative burdens. Our new resource shares strategies. https://healthlaw.org/resource/using-state-macs-bacs-to-monitor-obbba-work-requirement-implementation/
Using State MACS/BACS to Monitor OBBBA Work Requirement Implementation
Medicaid Advisory Committees (MACs) and/or Beneficiary Advisory Councils (BACs) provide a meaningful opportunity for stakeholders and enrollees to engage with state Medicaid officials and policymakers. Engagement will be crucial as states begin implementing OBBBA’s work requirements. This resource provides suggestions about how to work with state MACs/BACs to mitigate the administrative burden and other harms that work requirements will place on enrollees and state Medicaid agencies.
