HSR provides high quality, customized analysis and technical assistance to help national, state, and local policymakers weigh their options and make more informed decisions with respect to health, nutrition, and human services policies and programs. HSR is often called upon to assess difficult but critical policy questions. For example: What are the advantages and disadvantages of alternative Medicaid managed care capitation rate-setting methods? What are the most effective ways of integrating services to meet the complex needs of children with special health care needs? How has welfare reform affected states' food stamp policies and practices? What strategies work to help safety net providers remain financially viable? Examples of HSR policy studies include: Managed Care for Children With Special Health Care Needs HSR analyzed alternative policies and systems for serving vulnerable children in managed care environments. Model service delivery and financing systems were defined and presented in a series of workshops for state policymakers seeking to adapt best practices to their own Medicaid managed care programs. Development of Capitation Rates Under Medicaid Managed Care HSR conducted a study of methods for determining capitation rates for Medicaid managed care in 15 states. Actuarial methods, contracting processes, and rate-related quality incentives were analyzed. This information assisted legislative analysts in evaluating and defining state rate-setting systems.

The ACLU has historically defended the rights of the poor against government arbitrariness and abuse. Today, that work continues. Defending poor peoples’ access to the courts is a high priority for the ACLU. In 1996 a conservative Congress led by Newt Gringrich slashed funding for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) and dramatically restricted the types of cases LSC attorneys could handle. Under Congress’ new rules, LSC lawyers could no longer represent poor people in class actions and they could not participate in any lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the newly passed welfare reform laws. These and several other restrictions, which deprived poor people of the right to effective counsel, were challenged in court, and ultimately, all but one – the ban on challenging welfare reform laws – were upheld by the Supreme Court. The ACLU continues to lobby against the existing restrictions. ACLU is also fighting for poor peoples’ right to effective counsel in criminal cases.

Contact Us Don't Let Bush Bury Welfare Reform Newsday January 20, 2003 Margy Waller Visiting Fellow Economic Studies Ironically, it's beginning to look like the success of welfare reform may be its downfall. Unfortunately, President George W. Bush's latest statement on the subject proves the point. Last year, in campaigns across the country, politicians of all stripes took credit for the success of welfare reform policies. Yet, the deadline for reauthorization of the historic 1996 legislation passed without action and the lame-duck Congress punted deliberations into this year. your view After reading this opinion, tell us what you think. We'll post the most interesting comments. send YOUR VIEW So what gives? Simple: The controversy that has prevented agreement is not really about money for faith-based and marriage-strengthening programs, and not even about the toughness of work requirements. It's federal officials' objections to increasing funding for services like child care that are shaping the debate. After 1996, as welfare rolls eventually dropped by more than 50 percent and millions of recipients went to work, some members of Congress attempted to cut the guaranteed funding. They argued that reduced caseloads meant states didn't need the same amount of money as when rolls were larger. State and local policy makers pointed out that they use the freed-up funds to provide services like child care and transportation that help low-income families stay off welfare. And Congress backed off, keeping the promise made in 1996 to retain level and flexible funding.
