(AP) - People shopping for insurance on the fed- eral marketplace may be informed they're eligible for Medicaid and that their information is being sent to state officials to sign them up. However, states say they aren't able to enroll them because they're receivingincomplete data fromthe Obama administration. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services wrote a memo to the 36 states using the federal website last week acknowledg- ing the information wasn't being transferred automatically and saying another system was being developed to send it. More com- plete files could be sent as soon as next week. The technical problem could affect tens of thousands of Medic- aid applicants and represents the latest issue to arise in the rollout of a website that's been plagued with long waits for users and other glitches. Some users who fill out appli- cations on the federal site may believe that they're already being enrolled in Medicaid or that state officials will contact them, even though the agencies aren't receiv- ing the information they need, said Matt Salo, executive direc- tor of the National Association of Medicaid Directors. The data transfer problem is occurring in the 36 states where the federal site is deployed, regardless of whether they chose to expand Medicaid. "Essentially, if you're a consum- er on healthcare.gov, it will tell you you're eligible for Medicaid and the state agency will take care of it, but there's no real way for the state Medicaid agency to know anything about it," said Salo, who 555UW leads the nonpartisan membership group for state Medicaid chiefs. The federal marketplace was designed to help people buy pri- vate insurance under President Barack Obama's health overhaul. If shoppers qualified for Medic- aid, the site was supposed to send their data to the Medicaid agency in their state. As explained on healthcare.gov, "When you finish this application, we'll tell you which programs you and your family qualify for. If it looks like anyone is eligible for Medicaid, we'll let the Medicaid agency know so your coverage can start in 2014." The site also says: "If you or a member of your family qualify for Medicaid or CHIP, a representa- tive will contact you to enroll." CHIP is a health insurance pro- gram for children. The federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has devised an alternative way of sending files including the patient information to the states. "CMS announced that we will be providing states with additional flexibility to use existing processes to enroll individuals in Medicaid and CHIP who applied through the federal marketplace. This pro- cess will ensure that coverage will begin on Jan. 1 for newly eligible enrollees," said spokeswoman Emma Sandoe. Salo said the federal govern- ment is currently sending states incomplete data files on people deemed eligible online - data called "flat files" - so that agen- cies can get a rough estimate of how many people they may need to enroll. New files with more informa- tion could be sent as soon as Tues- day, Salo said. But states are unsure the new files will be complete or accurate enough for enrollments. "States that want to can take it as gospel and use the information to enroll people," he said. "But that sets up the question, how sure are we the information is going to be correct? Is hasn't been up until now. Can the state afford to just take that on faith?" Prominent civil rights leader leaves legacy as fighter for peace, equality JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Nelson Mandela was a master of forgiveness. South Africa's first black president spent nearly a third of his life as a prisoner of apart- heid, yet he sought to win over its defeated guardians in a rel- atively peaceful transition of power that inspired the world. As head of state, the for- mer boxer, lawyer and inmate lunched with the prosecutor who argued successfully for his incarceration. He sang the apartheid-era Afrikaans anthem at his inauguration and trav- eled hundreds of miles to have tea with the widow of the prime minister in power at the time he was sent to prison. It was this generosity of spirit that made Mandela, who died Thursday at the age of 95, a glob- al symbol of sacrifice and recon- ciliation in a world often jarred by conflict and division. Mandela's stature as a fighter against apartheid - the system of white racist rule he called evil - and a seeker of peace with.his enemies was on a par with that of other men he admired: Amer- ican civil rights activist Mar- tin Luther King Jr. and Indian independence leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, both of whom were assassinated while actively engaged in their callings. Mandela's death deprived the world of one of one of the great figures of modern history and set the stage for days of mourn- ing and reflection about a colos- sus of the 20th century who projected astonishing grace, resolve and good humor. Dressed in black, South Afri- can President Jacob Zuma made the announcement on television. He said Mandela died "peace- fully," surrounded by family, at around 8:50 p.m. "We've lost our greatest son. Our nation has lost its great- est son. Our people have lost a father," Zuma said. "Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of a profound and endur- ing loss." At times, Mandela embraced his iconic status, appearingbefore a rapturous crowd in London's Wembley Stadium soon after his 1990 release from prison. Some- times, he sought to downplay it, uneasy about the perils of being put on a pedestal. In an unpub- lished manuscript, written while in prison, Mandela acknowledged that leaders of the anti-apartheid movement dominated the spot- light but said they were "only part of the story," and every activist was "like a brick which makes up our organization." He pondered the cost to his family of his dedication to the fight against the racist system of government that jailed him for 27 years and refused him per- mission to attend the funeral of his mother and of a son who was killed in a car crash. In court, he described himself as "the loneli- est man" during his mid-1990s divorce from Winnie Mandela. As president, he could not forge lasting solutions to poverty, unemployment and other social ills that still plague today's South Africa, which has strug- gled to live up to its rosy depic- tion as the "Rainbow Nation." He secured near-mythical sta- tus in his country and beyond. Last year, the South African cen- tral bank released new banknotes showing his face, a robust, smiling image of a man who was meticu- lous about his appearance and routinely exercised while in pris- on. South Africa erected statues of him and named buildings and other places after him. He shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with F.W. de Klerk, the country's last white president. He was the sub- ject of books, films and songs and a magnet for celebrities. In 2010, Mandela waved to the crowd at the Soccer City sta- dium at the closing ceremony of the World Cup, whose stagingin South Africa allowed the coun- try, and the continent, to shine internationally. It was the last public appearance for the for- mer president and prisoner, who smiled broadly and was bundled up against the cold. One of the most memorable of his gestures toward racial har- mony was the day in 1995 when he strode onto the field before the Rugby World Cup final in Johannesburg, and then again after the game, when he con- gratulated the home team for its victory over a tough New Zea- land team. Mandela was wear- ing South African colors and the overwhelmingly white crowd of 63,000 was on its feet, chanting "Nelson! Nelson! Nelson!" It was typical of Mandela to march headlong into a bastion of white Afrikanerdom - in this case the temple of South African rugby - and make its followers feel they belonged in the new South Africa. The moment was portrayed in "Invictus," Clint Eastwood's movie telling the story of South Africa's transformation through the prism of sport. It was a moment half a cen- tury in the making. In the 1950s, Mandela sought universal rights through peaceful means but was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 for leading a campaign of sabotage against the govern- ment. The speech he gave dur- ing that trial outlined his vision and resolve. "During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people," Mandela said. "I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a demo- cratic and free society in which all persons live together in har- mony and with equal opportuni- ties. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
