Authorizes the expansion of Medicaid on January 1, 2017, to non-elderly adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. This action would result in over 350,000 Virginians gaining access to health care. In addition, the state would achieve significant savings as new Medicaid funding would supplant state-supported indigent care costs, services provided by Community Services Boards, and inpatient hospital costs for incarcerated individuals. The net general fund savings to the Commonwealth would be approximately $59.2 million in FY 2017 and $97.7 in FY 2018. This coverage expansion would reduce indigent care costs for hospitals across the Commonwealth, resulting in improvements to their financial condition, especially for rural hospitals. |
