Five States Join NASHP Learning Collaborative on Medicaid Sustainability and Budget Strategy

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has launched a Medicaid Policy and Strategy Learning Collaborative with five participating states. The collaborative aims to address Medicaid sustainability challenges amid outcomes-based beneficiary budget authority (OBBBA) implementation and broader fiscal pressures facing state programs. The initiative will focus on strategic planning and policy development to maintain program viability. This represents a coordinated multi-state effort to navigate federal policy changes and budget constraints affecting Medicaid programs.
