As many as 20 million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage over the course of 10 years thanks to Republican proposals to cut the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion match rate, according to a recent analysis.
The most affected states in that estimate include Oregon, Virginia, Louisiana, and Nevada, a report from policy group KFF said. Louisiana and Nevada both voted for President Donald Trump. While other “red states” such as Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Montana were also all projected to see at least a 30 percent drop in the number of people covered in the state.
