Report corroborates budgetary benefits of expanding Medicaid eligibility in Kansas
A new report reinforces the need for Kansas to develop a plan to expand Medicaid to uninsured low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act, according to the Kansas Hospital Association. Prepared by Manatt Health Solutions for Kansas Grantmakers in Health, the report estimates that Medicaid expansion would be budget neutral between 2016 and 2020, and may even generate savings and new revenues. “The report corroborates the economic impact analysis released by the Kansas Hospital Association that suggested that it is possible to develop such a plan that is budget neutral and may even help the Kansas budget situation,” KHA said.
