In its role as a technical assistance provider for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s State Network initiative, SHADAC collaborated with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and Manatt Health Solutions to produce an analysis of the fiscal effects of expanding Medicaid in Oregon under the ACA.  The analysis, prepared for the Oregon Health Authority, estimates the potential costs and benefits of the ACA Medicaid expansion to the State through SFY 2020.  Overall, the analysis projects that the expansion would provide coverage to more than 240,000 newly eligible Oregonians and encourage approximately 20,000 previously eligible Oregonians to enroll in coverage.  Ultimately, this will generate $11.3 billion in federal health care expenditures and a net savings of $79 million to the state general fund.
