Repealing Medicaid Expansion: Implications for States

Manatt Health

Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has had a positive impact for states, both in terms of the number of people covered and the budget savings and revenue gains that they have realized as a result.  A series of recent reports demonstrates the economic impact in states that have expanded Medicaid.   A new webinar examined potential repeal of Medicaid expansion under the ACA, and what this would likely mean for states.  This webinar, which was presented by the State Network team at Manatt Health, provides an overview of the proposals and process for repeal of Medicaid expansion, and outlines both the coverage and budget implications that repeal would have for states.
