38 states, including Washington D.C., have expanded access to care.  And, in the few short years since these states have started their programs, there are already great results to share:

​

• Hospitals in expansion states are 84% less likely to close.

• Many more people have health insurance and are able to get medical care when they need it. This avoids costly emergency department visits, provides more access to preventative care, and increases early detection and diagnoses.

• The economies of these states have greatly improved, and they have added thousands more jobs.

• Their state revenues have grown because of the tax dollars from all of the new jobs.  They've also have received more of their tax dollars back from the federal government for the expanded population.
