"With the right rules in place that put common sense over bureaucracy, states can bring in qualified help that makes programs work better when people need them most."

@RepDonDavis and @RepDonBacon hit the nail on the head with their bi-partisan Op-Ed; how expanding flexibility in staffing makes government work better for both states and beneficiaries.

CMS's six-month moratorium on new hospice & home health enrollments is a critical first step against fraud that's drained taxpayer dollars, but Medicare is only part of the picture.

The real test is carrying this same urgency into Medicaid.

States need more than national security checkboxes when it comes to AI systems making high-stakes decisions about healthcare, benefits, and child welfare.

For AI to truly modernize government, we need enforceable standards for oversight, real-world performance testing, and clear accountability.

30 days, every state. A two-year Medicaid revalidation strategy due to CMS.

The states that treat this as a genuine reform opportunity, not a paper plan, will build programs that actually last.

OBBB is raising the stakes. States that can't get error rates below the new national threshold will be forced to shoulder 15% of costs themselves.

Florida alone could face a $200 million fine. Other states aren't far behind.

“Medicaid improper payments could top $30 billion...because states' systems literally can't talk to each other. That's a tech problem. And it has a tech solution.”

The White House Fraud Task Force Has an Important Role; CAMI Urges Focus on Root Causes

NEW: Read our statement on @WhiteHouse 's EO on combating fraud

[The Center For AMI @TheCenterForAMI]

Fraud and waste aren’t winning because bad actors are particularly clever - they are winning because government systems weren't built to talk to each other.

Modern technology can change this.

The President called it out at the #SOTU — waste and fraud in federal programs must end.

State leaders are on the front lines of this fight, but they need modern, flexible solutions.

One big topic we're watching for at tonight's #SOTU - OBBB implementation. Federal and state leaders have to work together to ensure that services are delivered efficiently and accurately.

See our post on how maximizing flexibility empowers states to start making real progress:

NEW: Op-ed from our Board Chairman @stansoloway
in @FLPlolitics

Florida's SNAP program is a case study in how waste undermines results: staffing shortages + inflexible federal rules = backlogs, errors, and eligible families waiting months for help. We can do better. We must do better.

@jmillerWFED “Were you surprised that the results of the survey basically told you people are comfortable or at least supportive of hiring more people in government?”
@RepJohnFaso “It was slightly more people who said they didn’t object to hiring more government employees as opposed to those that objected.”

[The Center For AMI @TheCenterForAMI]

“What was very clear from the survey…the public actually has faith in public employees. The public also fully recognizes that the system itself is not serving them well.” @stansoloway

“Well over half are convinced that the states are not ready to implement these new [Medicaid] work requirements. Two thirds of the people that were surveyed are concerned that the new requirements are going to create barriers to accessing Medicaid benefits.” @stansoloway

[The Center For AMI @TheCenterForAMI]

CAMI’s exclusive national survey findings:

➔ Americans want better service, not bigger government, which means there is strong bipartisan support for integrating more AI into government agency services provided it makes agencies more efficient. 48% support vs 29% oppose using AI tools.

➔ Work requirements have broad support - 58% support vs 26% oppose.
The majority of Americans believe that the government should make sure Medicaid beneficiaries are working or acquiring the skills to enter the workforce.

➔ Americans are aware that community engagement requirements present a new challenge for state governments. Only 41% believe states are ready to implement the requirements
