If the Trump Administration and a group of 18 states convince the Supreme Court to strike down the Affordable Care Act ([link removed]) (ACA), its Medicaid expansion – which covers more than 12 million low-income adults across the country – would end along with the rest of the law.
That would take health coverage away from millions, reduce access to care, increase premature deaths, and increase medical debt costs. It would also exacerbate racial disparities in coverage and access to care, and it would harm children along with adults.
Oral arguments before the Court are scheduled for November 10 ([link removed]) . While legal experts almost uniformly dismiss the Trump Administration’s argument as absurd, the case has made its way to the Supreme Court, raising a real risk that the Court could overturn the law ([link removed]) .
We have released a suite of materials today showing the benefits of Medicaid for millions of low-income folks, and that the coverage losses from ending expansion would cause severe harm:
* Medicaid Expansion Has Helped Narrow Racial Disparities in Health Coverage and Access to Care ([link removed])
* Uncompensated Care Costs Well Down in ACA Medicaid Expansion States ([link removed])
* Medicaid Expansion Improves Postpartum Coverage, Access to Care ([link removed])
* Expanding Medicaid for Parents Improves Coverage and Health for Both Parents and Children ([link removed])
