Unless action is taken, a new report estimates that 700,000 Texans could lose health insurance coverage after pandemic-era emergency enrollment policies end for Medicaid and Affordable Care Act health insurance.
A large majority of Texans say it’s very important for candidates to address issues that make health care more affordable, and more than half say state lawmakers should increase state spending on health care. Those are just some the results of a new statewide Episcopal Health Foundation (EHF) poll on health care access and affordability in Texas.
A record number of Texans enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance for 2022 thanks in large part to the greatest amount of federal financial assistance available to date to help pay for monthly premiums. That’s one of the findings of an Episcopal Health Foundation (EHF) analysis of new ACA health insurance enrollment data released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services combined with data from previous ACA enrollment periods.
More than 950,000 newly-eligible adults would enroll in health insurance under Medicaid expansion in Texas, bringing a projected $5.4 billion in federal dollars to the state. That’s according to a new study by researchers at the Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University.
In a new report, EHF examines the enrollment data from the latest open enrollment period and discuss the implications of the latest ACA enrollment data during the COVID-19 crisis and recent federal policy changes in the ACA marketplace.
A new EHF-sponsored report outlines the financial impact of Medicaid expansion in Texas to the state’s overall budget.
