Heath Care Reform
The intent of the Health Care Reform Initiative, which will be within the Health and Human Resources Secretariat, is to prepare Virginia for the implementation of federal health reform by planning for the expansion of Medicaid eligibility.
It is estimated that this expansion will increase the number of Medicaid enrollees in Virginia from 270,000 to 425,000, at a cost of $1.5 billion between 2017 and 2022.
