Securing Health Rights for Those in Need
Über uns
Founded in 1969, the National Health Law Program protects and advances the health rights of low income and underserved individuals. NHeLP advocates, educates and litigates at the federal and state level. Our lawyers and policy analysts stand up for the rights of the millions of people who struggle to access affordable, quality health care. We are guided by the belief—a challenge—that each generation should live better than the last. Health care reform offers the opportunity to substantially reduce the number of uninsured and improve access to care, including through the law’s expansion of the Medicaid program. Political and economic challenges, however, threaten these advances for millions of low-income and uninsured people. NHeLP defends the nation’s health care safety net for those most in need and those with the fewest resources. We fight to give at-risk populations a voice in federal policy making, promote the rights of consumers in emerging managed-care systems, and advocate for creative solutions that preserve the government’s responsibility as the provider of last resort. We are a force in the courtroom, working to ensure that low-income people and underserved communities can obtain the quality care to which they are legally entitled and holding state and federal Medicaid agencies accountable for their programs. The National Health Law Program, founded in 1969, protects and advances health rights of low-income and underserved individuals and families. We advocate, educate and litigate at the federal and state levels to advance health and civil rights in the U.S. Our lawyers and policy experts fight every day for the rights of the tens of millions of people struggling to access affordable, quality health care coverage free from discrimination.

Millions of Americans rely on Deloitte-run systems for Medicaid, but frequent errors can cause coverage loss and take years to fix, piling on costs for states. NHeLP filed a complaint urging the FTC to investigate these harmful practices. “People will go without care,” Elizabeth Edwards, Senior Attorney at NHeLP said, and until there’s a fix or a workaround, “you will continue to have the harm over and over again.” #HealthCareAccess #Medicaid #FTC https://lnkd.in/e_VUmUEr

On August 26, 2024, a federal court delivered a major victory for Medicaid enrollees in Tennessee, including people with disabilities, in A.M.C. v. Smith. The court's detailed decision revealed significant flaws in Tennessee's Medicaid program, TennCare, impacting access to care for low-income residents. These issues stemmed from problems with the Deloitte-operated eligibility system and barriers to required hearings for wrongfully terminated enrollees. This case explainer breaks down the key points of the decision and outlines the next steps. By Sarah Grusin and Elizabeth Edwards https://lnkd.in/eva4YiJR
