How the Great State of Arkansas May Fare Under the Affordable Care Act

  • 401,000 more Arkansans with health insurance
  • 30% more non-elderly Arkansans with Medicaid
  • 1,100 deaths prevented annually by the increase in Medicaid enrollment
  • 6,200 new jobs created by economic growth stemming from insurance expansion
  • $550,000,000 in net economic growth, accounting for subsidies, Medicaid expansion, taxes, and Medicare cuts

These calculations reflect likely conditions in 2016, given a fully implemented Affordable Care Act.
