This edition of the Five Slide Series estimates the amount each states’ residents are paying for the Medicaid expansion population’s coverage – whether or not their state is participating in the coverage program. In the aggregate, we estimate that an annual financial transfer of $17 billion is occurring from the residents of the non-expansion states to the residents of the expansion states. A state not yet participating in the expansion can move its residents from collectively being large-scale net losers to a large-scale net gainers by opting to participate.

This month’s edition provides data on the costs of Medicaid-covered adults and a conceptual framework for estimating the Medicaid expansion population’s emerging PMPM costs.
