Nineteen states have yet to expand their Medicaid programs under theAffordable Care Act, and a new study from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation shows just how much enrollment would increase if they did: 7.8 to 8.8 million, while the number of uninsured would decline between 4.1 and 5 million, the research found.

That’s in addition to about 6.9 million people who would be subtracted from the ranks of the uninsured under the major coverage provisions of the ACA.

More than half of these people would be in three states: Texas (1.2 million), Florida (877,000), and Georgia (509,000). More than four-fifths of the uninsured people gaining Medicaid eligibility would be adult without children, while about 48 percent of the uninsured gaining eligibility would be white non-Hispanic; 52 percent are working either full- or part-time.
