Which states are most impacted by a Medicaid expansion?

Posted On June 19, 2021

Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, North Dakotas, Kentucky, Kentucky State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Mississippi State, Oklahoma City, and Mississippi, have been added to the list of states that are applying for Medicaid expansion under the American Health Care Act.

As of July 1, the states have received about $300 million in funding for their Medicaid programs, according to a release from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

However, many states are still waiting for the federal government to begin expanding Medicaid coverage to them.

The states have a long way to go, however, and are still a long ways from being fully covered.

According to the release, the number of Americans who are eligible for Medicaid is now about 4.6 million, or 12.8 percent of the population.

In addition to Texas and Mississippi receiving a large number of new Medicaid dollars, Louisiana and North Carolina received nearly $50 million each.

Alabama, which has been under the umbrella of Medicaid since 2012, has received $17 million.

In addition, Louisiana has received more than $30 million from the federal Government’s Medicaid expansion, while Mississippi has received nearly half a billion dollars.

The amount of money that each state received is not necessarily a good indicator of how much they will be able to spend in the coming months.

While states that received federal money in the past have experienced a significant spike in the number and size of Medicaid enrollees, states that did not receive that funding in recent years have seen their populations decline.

The states that had the largest decreases in Medicaid enrollment in 2018 and 2019 are Oklahoma and South Carolina.

Additionally, Medicaid enrollment for the next two years is expected to be relatively stable.

The latest data available indicates that the average number of Medicaid beneficiaries is set to be just over 10.6 percent of eligible adults, and the average age of those people is expected be about 32.5 years old.
