title: A different kind of Medicaid expansion. Medicaid managed-care insurers prepare to offer plans on insurance exchanges, testing whether more Americans are ready for economy-class health coverage.
abstract: As Medicaid managed-care insurers prepare to offer coverage to the general public on the upcoming exchanges, experts say those plans could help improve continuity of care for enrollees. "As people's income fluctuates, it will be really important that they not be handed off from one health plan to another and instead stay with the same plan," says Matt Salo, of the National Association of Medicaid Directors.
