State by State: The Affordable Care Act and Covering More Women and Families in Medicaid

The option to cover more people through the Medicaid program is a crucial part of the health care law. Starting in 2014, 15 million uninsured Americans, including 7 million women could be newly eligible for Medicaid coverage should all states accept the federal money included in the Affordable Care Act to support this coverage. These state by state fact sheets provide useful data on how many women could be eligible for coverage and how states stand to gain by accepting the federal money.
