  31. DONUT HOLE • Without expansion, Missourians with income from 19% to 100% of the federal poverty limit face a “donut hole.” • For a family of four, annual income from $4,532 to $23,850. For an individual, $2,217 to $11,670. • They make too much money to qualify for the existing Medicaid Program, but too little money to qualify for subsidized health insurance through the Exchange. • About 200,000 uninsured Missourians are in that donut hole.

  32. COST -- STATE SHARE • No state cost for calendar years 2014, 2015 & 2016 • State share then phases up to 10% - January 2017 – 5% (half year for FY 2017) - January 2018 – 6% - January 2019 – 7% - January 2020 – 10%
