Medicaid Expansion’s Impact in Texas
Description
Texas is one of twelve states that has chosen not to expand Medicaid, despite having the largest number of uninsured residents in the country. Ninety percent matching financing from the federal government means the state is missing out on not only any benefits to individuals but fiscal benefits to local economies. This policy brief summarizes research on fiscal impacts of Medicaid expansion and the number of Texans who would be eligible for expansion, as well as how much new federal annual spending would be expected if those Texans enrolled in Medicaid. The research was sponsored by the Episcopal Health Foundation, a philanthropic organization focused on improving community health in Texas. The full report, “County-Level Projections of Medicaid Expansion’s Impact in Texas,” can be found on their website and includes county-level data, interactive embeddable maps that show potential funding and health insurance coverage for every county in Texas, and complete details about the project’s methods.Department
