Arkansas’ Medicaid Spending Drops by $22M
“The decrease came despite slightly higher spending on Arkansas Works, the state’s expanded Medicaid program, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Arkansas Works spending rose to $1.91 billion, a less than 1 percent increase. That was offset by a $31 million decrease in spending on the traditional Medicaid program, which covers primarily low-income families and low-income people who are elderly or disabled.”
