Researchers noted that compared to the states that have made significant or moderate progress in creating an exchange, states that are behind will most likely have the largest percentage drop in uncompensated care spending, will see greater increases in Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program enrollment and will eventually receive more in federal subsidies.
The 15 “slow-moving” states — Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming — are predicted to see a 12 percent drop in nonelderly uninsured rates and a 59 percent drop in uncompensated care, both significantly higher than other states.
