New law offers hope for homeless health care

Published on August 20, 2010 at 9:04 AM · No Comments
Kaiser Health News staff writers Mary Agnes Carey and Andrew Villegas, writing in collaboration with The Washington Post, report: "Tianne Hill dreads getting mail at the city shelter on Guilford Avenue where she lives. She knows it often includes medical bills she can't pay. ... Like many other homeless people, Hill is uninsured and ineligible for Medicaid, the state-federal program that covers millions of other poor Americans. But that will change beginning in 2014, when Medicaid greatly expands under the new health care law to include adults without children, who generally have been excluded" (Carey and Villegas, 8/20). Read the story.
