  2. Health In Colorado • 22% of adults obese; 14.2% kids • 18.3% working age adults uninsured; 9.3% kids • 20.7% of women receive initial prenatal care later than the first trimester or not at all • 28.7% of preschool-age children do not receive all recommended doses of six key vaccines. • 14.8% of adults reported having poor mental health

  3. Coverage Coverage • Medicaid expansions up to 133% of poverty • Premium tax credits available up to 400% of poverty • Cost sharing subsidies up to 250% of poverty (limits out of pocket spending) • Investments in workforce and clinic capacity

  4. Medicaid Expansion: The Right Choice for Colorado (SB13-200) • Expansion allows Medicaid to cover more than 160,000 additional Coloradans • Expansion allows us to cover more people with the right services at the right time and drive value in the system • 58,000 additional parents and adults likely to enroll between 100%-133% of FPL (138% with an automatic 5% income disregard) • In 2013, 133 percent of the FPL was $31,321 for a family of four and $15,282 for an individual • Supports Colorado’s health and economy by helping people stay healthier over the long term  • Maximizing enhanced federal funding is the best option for Colorado • Allows provider fee dollars to stretch further with the enhanced federal matching funds • The Medicaid expansion is expected to have no impact on the state General Fund 

  5. Cost of Expansion *This is a preliminary estimate of caseload and expenditures and does not include administrative costs or effects of other programs. **The total estimates column above takes into account calculations for eligible but not enrolled individuals and changes to the CHP+ costs and caseload. 1 An estimated more than160,000 Coloradans will be enrolled as a result of the expansion. This is difference between 271,000 (above) and an estimated 110,200 parents and adults without dependent children currently authorized under the provider fee. 2 As federal funding tapers, we anticipate savings, provider fees and other public funding will cover the additional caseload.
