Bloomberg BNA interviewed Manatt's Deborah Bachrach, a partner in the firm's Healthcare practice, for an article on states' renewed focus on Medicaid expansion in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in support of Affordable Care Act subsidies.
Bachrach told Bloomberg BNA that states have more Medicaid expansion options available to them now than if the decision had gone for the plaintiffs.
The decision further ingrained the ACA into the health-care landscape, Bachrach said, so states can expand without worrying about the federal funding disappearing.
