Those who spoke Wednesday in opposition to a proposal to end continuous eligibility on part of the stateâs Medicaid program said it would cut people off from accessing life-saving medical care.
Opponents at a public comment hearing also questioned what Montanaâs new plan for checking if people are qualified to receive coverage would be if the change is made.
Continuous eligibility means people who are qualified for a program remain qualified for a year. It was put into place to prevent what s called churn, or when people move from being qualified to not and then back to qualified. That happens because of fluctuation in pay from things like overtime hours or seasonal work or change in household composition from moving.
