I think it’s time to repost my Stearn-by-state, district-by-district thread about just how much federal funding would be lost if the ACA is struck down...and this was BEFORE #COVID19 hit. https://twitter.com/larry_levitt/status/1308514581912809472
ALABAMA: Via analyses by @UrbanInstitute and Center for @AmProg (latter of which I co-wrote w/ @EmilyG_DC & @NicoleRapfogel), if the #ACA is struck down, 186,000 AL residents would lose coverage & the state would lose at least $1.15 BILLION in federal funding per year.
NOTE: The *coverage* losses have been updated for the #COVID19 era; the loss in *federal funding* is from last year. Assuming the increase in lost funding is proportional to the increase in coverage losses, you'd have to tack on another 30% for Alabama. This % varies by state.
ALASKA: If the #ACA is struck down, at least 75,000 Alaskans are projected to lose healthcare coverage and the state would lose at least $540 million in federal funding per year.
ARIZONA: If the #ACA is struck down, at least 363,000 Arizonans are projected to lose healthcare coverage and the state would lose at least $2.12 BILLION in federal funding per year.
ARKANSAS: If the #ACA is struck down, at least 329,000 Arkansans are projected to lose healthcare coverage and the state would lose at least $440 million in federal funding per year.
