The Affordable Care Act gave every state the opportunity to expand Medicaid and provide health coverage to millions of those who were living without health insurance because they make “too much” to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to afford private insurance.
But as of today, lawmakers in 10 STATES are refusing to expand Medicaid and provide access to affordable health coverage to those who need it. This decision has left over 2 MILLION PEOPLE without access to affordable health coverage, and has created what we call the “Medicaid coverage gap.”
