This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron take a look at what open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act plans looks like for 2022. Should providers and patients be aware of any changes?

Then, virtually all states saw their Medicaid enrollment numbers jump during the COVID-19 pandemic but also saw it drop in 2022. What does 2023 have in store for Medicaid?

Plus, should we declare amnesty for COVID-19 mistakes? Should we forgive and forget or should we prosecute (literally or at the ballot box) those who shared bad information (unintentionally) or those in leadership who made bad decisions (unintentionally)?

Finally, some Halloween-themed healthcare haikus.
