Expanding Louisiana’s Medicaid program to cover low-income uninsured adults would not only improve public health, it also would help economies in every region of the state as new federal health care dollars became available.
Medicaid expansion is expected to bring in more than $16 billion over 10 years that would support 15,600 new Louisiana jobs.
To show how this economic expansion would affect specific regions, LBP created nine new fact sheets showing the impact on each Department of Health and Hospitals region. Click on your region below to see more detailed information.
