To expand or not to expand, that is the (Medicaid) question Webinar
Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012

The June 2012 Supreme Court ruling effectively gave states the option to participate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion.  Given this new choice, states are weighing the costs and savings associated with expanding Medicaid to cover most people under the age of 65 with incomes at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.  Even with the federal government paying for significant portion of the cost of coverage for the newly eligible—100 percent in 2014 through 2016, decreasing to 90 percent in 2020 and thereafter—fiscal uncertainties remain.  This webinar features national experts who will review possible costs and cost savings associated with the expansion as well as discuss issues for legislatures to consider as they make decisions about the future of their Medicaid program.
