Medicaid Expansion

Five conservative states expanded Medicaid in part because the Obama administration let them charge premiums, but the Biden administration is taking that authority away.

Research suggests access to public health insurance can help curb recidivism. Reentry organizations in Missouri are working to enroll people in Medicaid after they leave prison to keep them from coming back.

The Biden administration appears to have begun the process of rolling back Medicaid work requirements. But some worry this may mean conservative states will reject Medicaid expansion altogether.
