Trade-off

Redeploying staff reduces layoffs but may not match skills to new roles.

Part of: Fold Medicaid and CHIP into UHP

Medicaid's acute-care and LTSS functions move to UHP. States begin paying the maintenance-of-effort amount ($345.7B a year) in place of their Medicaid share. Medicaid managed-care contracts end.
