DETAILS
As legal services attorneys, we are typically advocating to compel an agency to fulfill its obligations to our clients. However, we would be doing a disservice to our clients if we failed torecognize when an agency makes substantial progress which benefits our clients. Such is the case with the Department of Social Services and its delivery of health care under Medicaid (also known as HUSKY), which now covers one in five state residents.
