  • Utah Medicaid Gap Analysis February 2014
    Utah Medicaid Gap Analysis February 2014 INTRODUCTION In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) called for the expansion of Medicaid coverage to certain low income adults. In a 2012 US Supreme Court ruling the Medicaid expansion became an optional element of the new law. The result was that some individuals that do not qualify for Medicaid will be left without premium subsidies as well unless individual states elect to expand their Medicaid programs. These individuals who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to qualify for insurance premium subsidies have been referred to as the Medicaid “gap”. Voices for Utah Children asked Notalys, LLC, an economic research and data intelligence firm, to estimate the number of individuals in the Medicaid gap in each legislative district in Utah. Notalys utilized population data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau to arrive at these estimations. While several intricacies of the Medicaid eligibility and ACA subsidy rules cannot be exactly represented with existing and available data sources, Notalys has taken extreme care to represent the statistical ranges for each estimate and outline the possible limitations of this study. Main Findings The results of this analysis are a district by district estimate for the total number of people who are likely to be affected by the Medicaid gap if Medicaid is not expanded in the state of Utah. These numbers are presented in terms of the total count of individuals in the district who fall into the gap and in terms of the percentage of all adults 18-64 within the district who fall into the gap.

    LEE ALLEN (contact info redacted) April 6, 2012 Governor Gary R. Herbert Utah State Capitol Complex 350 North State Street, Suite 200 PO Box 142220 Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-2220 Re: HCR 5, 2012 General Session Dear Governor Herbert: As a World War II civilian prisoner of the Japanese in real concentration camps and a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, it was disappointing to see the State of Utah use language that denigrates the efforts of our nation in its wartime trial as is done by HCR 5. Also, although it is commendable to honor Japanese-American service in World War II, to resort to claims that present as fact a large number of exaggerated and outright contrived accomplishments attributable to Japanese-American service is not. I can only conclude that HCR 5 was accepted as written because the true historical information was unknown to those who supported it. Clearly, the service rendered by Japanese-Americans was exceptional and needs no embellishment. Indeed, doing so detracts from their service and reputation. I have attached an annotated version of HCR5 to correct the historical inaccuracies. I have included citations for my sources. In the future I urge that the State of Utah not use its authority and good faith to validate historical claims without first checking to make sure they are true. Sincerely, Lee Allen Copies: Each representative and senator.
