The ACA expanded Medicaid coverage to a lot of people, and it was implemented differently in lots of states. So, what happened? Lots of studies are coming out about expanded access, and how that access has changed outcomes.

I became eligable for Medicaid with ACA. Then i got eosinophilic asthma and chronic fatigue syndrome. I would literally be dead without the ACA.
I'm in Indiana. When I moved back here I was working a basically minimum wage part time job, averaging less than $200/week. While my daughter qualified for free Medicaid, I was asked to pay. While it was only $17/month, I couldn't swing it and have been without insurance for almost a year now. I now have a good paying full time job, but I'm still waiting for my insurance to kick in.
Behind your left shoulder there is a large prism looking thing next to the mug. It looks like an award of some kind, but I don’t see and inscriptions. What is this thing?
Great information!!!
I make too much to have medicaid but not enough to live in a one room apartment where I live. I've used medicaid before I got my raise and it seriously helped my family. Now that I don't qualify, I have to pay $700+ a paycheck to have healthcare. So now I really can't afford a one room apartment let alone a shack. :( Washington state is expensive.
This is welcome (if not unexpected) news. Remember to VOTE! Vote for politicians who are willing to support policies that promote public health, including treating drug addiction as a health problem instead of a criminal one.
Thanks to the tiredless efforts of our Republican Governor, Governor Herbert, Utah is finally expanding Medicaid.
Why did this vid ignore how the "expansion" is funded or not funded? Rember it is FED MONEY TO START, the IN STATE MONEY OVER TIME. Might it be relevant to also look at the LONG TERM POVERTY this created for the masses?
Isn't it a bit dishonest to say States were "invited" to expand Medicaid?
Third😝
Americans, why do people even vote for the American NSDAP? It's 2018?
I'm sure that expanding Medicaid would indeed improve access to healthcare and result in better health outcomes from use. The problem is two-fold: firstly, doing so is incredibly expensive. With the deficit contributing to the national debt each year already, putting more strain on it is unwise until a plan that would address the cost effectively is proposed alongside it. Secondly, healthcare is not a right. You don't have the right to steal food should you be starving, just the same as you do not have a right to healthcare should you be ill. Charity is almost always a better solution than the government stepping in.
Out of curiosity, who have you voted for in the last five presidential elections?
FIRST
HEALTH CARE :
No. Success would be cheaper healthcare, not "more access to care" or "more insurance." Pushing government more into the equation is a failure to anyone capable of understanding that healthcare is a service like any other. You don't rate oil changes based on who gets them or how many people have it covered on their insurance. You rate it on quality. Want to point to quality going up? That's a fair point. But by the logic used here, who's to say where quality would be without it and leaving money in the hands of taxpayers instead?
