  2. Potential Medicaid Expansion Estimated Financial Impact for Dallas County

  3. Potential Medicaid Expansion Affordable Care Act Under the Affordable Care Act, • the Federal government has offered 100% funding for expansion of the Texas Medicaid program • program expansion would cover Texas residents who earn up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) • the 100% Federal funding would be provided through 2016, after which time the Federal share declines to 90% funding by 2020. 3

  4. Dallas County Impact Demographic Impact • Dallas County has approximately 600,000 uninsured residents. • The Affordable Care Act will provide subsidies to uninsured residents which - • absent Medicaid expansion, should reduce the number of uninsured to approximately 465,000. • Medicaid expansion would reduce the number to approximately 334,000 • meaning, an additional 131,000 Dallas County residents would receive Medicaid coverage • As a result, Dallas County healthcare providers would be paid $580 million • Today these must be covered by safety net hospitals • Source: Center for Public Policy Priorities 4

  5. Impact for Dallas County Providers Financial Impact on Providers Although overall base payments would increase $580 million • Other supplemental payments (Uncompensated Care / UC) currently received would be reduced • Net Dallas County providers would realize approximately $351 million. • Statewide this would result in additional provider payments of over $1.6 billion/year • Without Medicaid expansion there will be no incremental Medicaid payments • Costs fall to the taxpayers and charity programs • Texan’s tax dollars go to fund other states’ Medicaid Expansion Programs 5
