  19. Medicaid Expansion Under the ACA • 240,000 uninsured Virginians below 100% of FPL would become eligible for public coverage should Virginia expand Medicaid • 46.5% of these are between the ages of 19-34 • An additional 122,000 uninsured have incomes below 138% of FPL and would also become eligible for public coverage should Virginia expand Medicaid • In all, about 362,000 uninsured Virginians are affected by the Medicaid expansion decision
