The impact of Medicaid managed care on the uninsured
Article Abstract:
The diversion of funds and patients that has resulted from state Medicaid reforms has adversely affected the availability of medical services for uninsured patients. Medicaid reforms have allowed states greater control, and states have opted to use managed care plans to provide Medicaid services. While managed care may provide marginal benefits in providing Medicaid services, the shift in funding has left public hospitals and community clinics with fewer resources. They are less able to provide services to the uninsured through cross-subsidization.

The impact of retirement plans on Medicaid eligibility
Article Abstract:
State Medicaid regulations inconsistently determine what retirement plans are resources for calculating Medicaid eligibility because many retirement account issues are not addressed in federal regulations. Therefore, the choice between an individual retirement account, Keogh or qualified pension plan is an essential one because Medicaid is calculated on income regardless of expenses. Qualified benefit plans are exempt from Medicaid resources as are annuities under most state regulations so these are the safest retirement planning alternatives.

The Retirement CD and the fight for control of the annuities market
Article Abstract:
The US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 1996's American Deposit Corp. v. Schacht incorrectly held that the Retirement CD is part of the business of insurance. The CD structured as an annuity in the case was more properly analogous to a savings account and should have been considered to fall within the purview of the business of banking. The tax-deferred annuity market will resultantly be less competitive by being restricted to those in the business of insurance.
