Expanding Medicaid Eligibility

According to a report from the Urban Institute, if the 12 non-expansion states were to implement a Medicaid expansion fully in 2023, 3.7 million fewer individuals would be uninsured, a reduction of 29.1%. Groups with the largest gains in coverage due to Medicaid expansion would include non-Hispanic Black persons, young adults, and women, particularly women of reproductive age.
