Brief Analysis

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is expected to add up to 16 million more Medicaid enrollees and will significantly expand eligibility for families with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The PPACA requires states to streamline their enrollment process—making it easier for eligible populations to enroll and retain Medicaid coverage. Although the federal government will pay much of the costs, states will still find their share unaffordable.
