Extending Medicaid Coverage

This report by Joan Alker, Co-Executive Director of the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, analyzes the potential for substantial state savings through extended Medicaid coverage in mental health services. Urban estimates suggest states could save between $13 and $26 billion from 2014 to 2020. Additionally, the National Association of State Mental Health Directors forecasts a $40 billion increase in state budgets during that time.
