Four prominent economists in Texas urge elected officials and other leaders to consider the benefits of Medicaid Expansion in Texas
A new EHF-sponsored report outlines the financial impact of Medicaid expansion in Texas to the state’s overall budget.
The Perryman Group estimates that during the first 10 years after implementation, the net economic benefits (fully adjusted for the alternative uses of the State contribution) of expanding coverage would include $319.2 billion (in 2019 dollars) in real gross product and almost 3.3 million job-years in Texas when multiplier effects are considered.
If Texas does not address the issue of uninsurance in a proactive way, it is estimated that by 2040, over 6.1 million Texans will be uninsured. That’s according to a report by Texas Alliance for Health Care.
