Episode Summary:  In this episode we will be will be reviewing and providing a summary analysis on three of seven Medicaid regulations that have been proposed by the Center on Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  The disability community has been very involved for the past few months in legislative efforts to create a Medicaid moratorium to prevent the finalization of these rules.  Although the purpose of the regulations is stated as reigning in out-of-control health care costs and preventing fraud and abuse, the result of the language of these regulations will significantly negatively impact people with disabilities.  Although we've been told that these proposals are "bad" in this podcast we will be analyzing them to understand what they will actually do.
