"My priorities have always included ensuring Medicaid beneficiaries have access to the care that they need by supporting providers that serve beneficiaries."

"The question we need to be asking is, 'is the full payment that a provider receives for treating a Medicaid enrollee fair and sufficient to ensure equal access?'"

"While I understand that there is always room for improvement, CMS has significant safeguards to minimize the impact of duplicate coverage; is that not correct?"

"Would you agree that the best practice at that point is for the marketplace to end eligibility for APTC once an individual has been determined eligible for Medicaid as some States do?"
