Earlier this morning, we released our June 2026 newsletter from R. F. Meyer & Associates. If you did not receive the newsletter by email, please see a link below to access it in PDF form from our website.

Our three articles this month cover three different acts of Congress that impact Medicaid eligibility:

  • A 2025 federal budget law was promoted in part as a way to protect Medicaid for those who truly need it. But for the roughly 12 million people who rely on both Medicare and Medicaid, the law creates immediate risks.
  • A federal law going into effect in 2028 will cap the amount of home equity a person can have and still qualify for Medicaid long-term care at $1 million.
  • When Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, part of the goal was to lower prescription drug costs for Medicare patients. However, for millions of seniors in long-term care facilities, a little-noticed side effect of that law is starting to hinder their access to those drugs.

We hope you find our June 2026 articles interesting and informative.
