The New York Alliance for Inclusion and Innovation is launching a podcast that takes a look at how Medicaid works, how the program is financed, and why it’s a lifeline to so many people including New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We’re calling the podcast “Inside Medicaid”. Courtney Burke of Sachs Policy Group is the host.

Listen in as we explore New York’s Medicaid program as it relates to people with disabilities, how the system works, the different Medicaid waivers, what’s changing in public policy and what it all means for people, providers, families and communities.
