IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor implementation to ensure the streamlined process actually improves benefit delivery timelines without cutting corners on eligibility verification or quality of care.
Why This Score
This is a benign administrative policy action with no constitutional harm drivers triggered—no election, rule of law, separation of powers, or civil rights implications. It also lacks meaningful distraction characteristics, as it's a low-controversy, substantively narrow benefit-delivery measure with minimal media hype potential.
