Voters in deep-red Oklahoma this week could order Medicaid expansion for at least 200,000 poor adults, defying state and Trump administration officials fighting to limit the Obamacare program. If voters approve a ballot measure on Tuesday, Oklahoma would become the first state to broadly expand government-backed health insurance to many of its poorest residents since the beginning of a pandemic that has stripped many people of coverage. At the same time, that could scuttle the Trump administration's efforts to make Oklahoma a test case for its plan to transform the entitlement program into a block grant.

Oklahoma voters Tuesday will decide whether to expand Medicaid via ballot initiative just 10 days after President Trump spoke in Tulsa at a sparsely attended campaign rally designed to revive his re-election bid.
A vote this week by Oklahomans to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act would be seen as a huge blow to the Trump administration, which has made repealing the law a signature part of its first three years in office. Trump didn't mention the ACA or its Medicaid expansion when he spoke June 20 in a Bank of Oklahoma Center with thousands of empty seats.

They've talked about creating more competition in the insurance industry or providing subsidies to make coverage more affordable. They've talked about tackling hospital prices and trimming profits. And, now, after all that groundwork, the coronavirus pandemic has come along and flipped the table.

In 2019, Montana lawmakers passed Medicaid expansion, building in new work and "community engagement" requirements for eligibility. Those requirements were scheduled to go into effect this summer. In the interim, a pandemic has upended both the statewide economy and the employment status and prospects of thousands of Montanans. Enrollment in the health coverage geared for Montana's low-income adults has increased for the first time in more than a year. State officials predict that uptick will likely continue as impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic play out.

The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010 and at the center of most national election cycles since, will again be a prominent issue in the 2020 election as new Supreme Court arguments over the fate of the health care law could be held in the weeks before Election Day.

Thom Tillis.

Becker's Hospital Review
The economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to a sharp increase in Medicaid eligibility and enrollment this year, but information management systems that states have in place are not properly equipped, according to Health Affairs.
Eligibility for Medicaid is expected to increase by 5 million to 18 million people by the end of 2020, depending on how high the U.S. unemployment rate rises, according to a recent Health Management Associates study.
