Webinar  -- Join Us to Discuss CRC's New Report about Michigan's Medicaid Expansion

CRC's new report finds that Michigan's Medicaid expansion, known as the Healthy Michigan program, has paid dividends to the business sector, the overall economy and to residents who receive health insurance via other sources. Besides the overall advantages arising from Michigan's expansion, some key findings from the report:

• The Healthy Michigan Plan has led to health insurance coverage for more than 650,000 of Michigan's citizens and has kept insurance premiums lower for others, improving the physical, mental and financial well-being of Michigan's citizens. The program also improved the state's economy by reducing uncompensated care among Michigan's hospitals, and by supporting health sector job creation/retention, a healthier workforce, and increased federal spending in the state.
• The Medicaid program allows for substantial innovation, experimentation and variation at the state level, allowing states to be true "laboratories of democracy." While new mechanisms like cost-sharing and Health Risk Assessments still need refinement, Michigan has begun to use the program to incentivize healthier lifestyles and responsible health care consumption. Michigan has also become a leader in using Medicaid to address the social determinants of health.
