This week, our In Focus section reviews a report out of Colorado that describes the economic impact of the state’s Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (the “Colorado Report”). Commissioned by the Colorado Health Foundation and prepared by the Colorado Futures Center at Colorado State University, “Assessing the Economic and Budgetary Impact of Medicaid Expansion in Colorado: FY 2015-16 through FY 2034-35,” provides estimated impacts from the ACA Medicaid expansion through fiscal year (FY) 2034-35 on jobs, the state’s economy, household earnings, and the state budget. Overall, the Colorado Report shows a positive impact on Colorado’s economy as a result of expanding Medicaid.
