TRUMP WILLING TO KEEP PARTS OF OBAMACAREStarting in January 2017, states’ share of Medicaid expansion costs will increase to 5 percent and, as noted in the FGA’s report, those costs gradually will rise to 10 percent by 2020. Before ObamaCare, Medicaid eligibility extended mostly to low-income, disabled adults and some pregnant women and children. But according to CMS, the Medicaid expansion has had major positive health and economic benefits for citizens and states. “Medicaid expansion does not trade off against coverage for people with disabilities,” CMS spokesman Aaron Albright told Fox News. “In fact, Medicaid expansion has allowed many eligible individuals with disabilities to get coverage.”The future of ObamaCare – including the Medicaid expansion and other myriad elements of the sprawling program – remains in doubt now that Donald Trump has been elected president.
