Mashup Score: 3
Amid renewed interest in Medicaid work requirements as part of a broader legislative package designed to significantly reduce federal Medicaid spending, KFF has updated its analysis of the work status and demographic characteristics of Medicaid enrollees with the latest data. Data show that, in 2023, 92% of Medicaid adults were either working full or part-time (64%), or were not working due to barriers to work such as caregiving responsibilities, illness or disability, or school attendance — reasons that counted as qualifying exemptions from the work requirements under previous policies.

Mashup Score: 4Medicare Advantage Insurers Made Nearly 50 Million Prior Authorization Determinations in 2023 | KFF - 23 day(s) ago
Nearly 50 million prior authorization requests were submitted to Medicare Advantage insurers on behalf of Medicare Advantage enrollees in 2023, of which 3.2 million (6.4%) were denied. Just 11.7% of denied requests were appealed, though 81.7% of appeals overturned the initial denial in Medicare Advantage. Substantially fewer prior authorization requests were made in traditional Medicare, reflecting the small number of services subject to prior authorization requirements.

Mashup Score: 10What is happening to USAID? - 23 day(s) ago
The more important question, though, is not whether USAID sits in the State Department or remains independent, but what functions it does and does not perform (and will be kept), and more broadly, as a result, what the United States role in the world is.
