- Michigan Senate Fiscal Agency Memo on ACA Medicaid Expansion Cost Savings (Steve Angelotti – 6/28/12)
There appears to be only one major impact on the State of Michigan. Under the ACA, Medicaid will be expanded to cover all people under 133% of the FPL. In Michigan it is believed that this will lead to about 400,000 new individuals being covered, at a total cost of roughly $2.0 billion Gross. The expansion will be 100% federally funded initially, with the match rate dropping to 90% by the year 2020 and beyond.

The MHA works closely with the American Hospital Association and others to continue providing coverage and access to high-quality and affordable care for all.
