Michigan's approach to expanding and reforming Medicaid may be a model for other Republican-dominated states that might choose to expand coverage for low-income adults, introduce market-oriented reforms, and limit the impact on their budget. A cornerstone of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the expansion of Medicaid coverage in 2014 to adults with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level (approximately $15,500 for a single adult in 2014). The proportion of these low-income adults under 65 years of age who are uninsured exceeds 40% nationally. Individual insurance is prohibitively expensive for most adults with low incomes, and employer-sponsored insurance is often unaffordable or not offered to the members of this population who work. Extending Medicaid coverage to more low-income adults can have important benefits for their access to care, health outcomes, and financial . . .

At stake is the legality of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule extending tax credits to the 4.5 million people who bought their health plans in the 34 states that declined to establish their own health insurance exchanges under the ACA. 1 The case hinges on enigmatic statutory language that seems to link the amount of tax credits to a health plan purchased “through an Exchange established by the State.” According to . . .

The early experience with Medicaid expansion in Michigan, a Republican-controlled state that received a federal waiver to implement modifications, may provide useful insights as this new coverage option continues to be debated and implemented in other states. The expansion of Medicaid to a greater number of low-income adults remains a controversial component of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Since the Supreme Court ruling in June 2012 that deemed Medicaid expansion discretionary for individual states, 27 states and the District of Columbia have opted to offer coverage to adults with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. 1 Michigan is one of five Republican-controlled states (along with Arizona, North Dakota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania) to expand Medicaid, and one of four states (along with Arkansas, Iowa, and Pennsylvania) that received a federal waiver to implement state-mandated modifications.
