New surveys show ID requirements cost more than they save
Three Colorado nonprofit organizations are advocating changes to the Citizen Documentation requirements in a new federal Medicaid law—the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA)—calling the requirements a huge burden on the state, counties, and citizens in need of critical services. The Colorado Center on Law and Policy, Colorado Covering Kids and Families, and the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative cited new data from two surveys released today by the Colorado Health Institute as evidence of a growing problem in the state’s health care system.
