MHPA has expanded its advocacy efforts from sole interaction with the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) to include active advocacy with the U.S. Congress and monitoring of state Medicaid activity. This activity has focused on issues such as adequate Medicaid funding, actuarial soundness, and expansion of Medicaid managed care. MHPA has also actively engaged with the Medicaid Commission, established its own issues agenda including principles on Medicaid reform. Finally, MHPA has co-sponsored papers on the ACA's health insurer fee, rate setting/actuarial soundness, and the expansion of Medicaid managed care.
