Medicaid, a government-funded health insurance program in Illinois, covers about 3.9 million people, including low-income adults, children, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities. While playing a vital role in extending health care coverage to those who may struggle with affordability, questions arise about its effectiveness in fulfilling its commitment to our communities.

In this HC3 podcast episode, hosts David Smith and Meghan Phillipp converse with Doug Elwell, acknowledged as a leading Medicaid expert in Illinois. Serving as the CEO of HMA (Health Management Associates), a prominent health care consulting and research firm in the U.S., Doug draws on extensive experience from various roles in both the public and private sectors. Driven by a deep passion and personal insights, Doug actively contributes to innovative thinking within the health care field.
