Your task for this assignment is to choose either Medicare or Medicaid and research a recent change to the program (recent meaning in the last few years). You can choose to look at changes that resulted from the PPACA, or other federal reforms, or changes at the state level if you would like to do so, but it has to be something different than what you chose for prior BBS assignments.

With the change that you select, answer the following questions:

1. What change did you choose to examine and why did you choose it?

2. What change was made? 

3. How does the change affect previously existing requirements? 

4. What results do you think will occur as a result of the change?

5. What do you think about the change and the impact it may have?



You can pick any aspect of the Medicare or Medicaid programs you would like including your state’s laws regarding theses programs. 

Remember that your response needs to be your own work. You should not simply copy and paste an article or information about some change and submit it as your own work. If you rely on a source of information to answer the questions, be sure to cite to it. If you copy a source, be sure to quote it.
