How the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania May Fare Under Medicaid Expansion

  • 830,000 more Pennsylvanians with health insurance
  • 5% more non-elderly Arkansans with Medicaid
  • $3,500,000,000 in net annual economic growth for the state, accounting for subsidies, Medicaid expansion, taxes, and Medicare cuts
  • 35,000 jobs retained by economic growth stemming from Medicaid expansion
  • $180,000,000 cumulative increase in state spending between 2014 and 2020

Unless otherwise noted, these calculations reflect likely conditions in 2016, given a fully implemented Affordable Care Act.
