H360 HSA4150 The Expansion of Medicaid in Illinois Discussion

 

I don’t understand this Health & Medical question and need help to study.

One of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act was the expansion of Medicaid. This allowed states to include the non-elderly as part of the eligibility process, which leads to more people being covered and improved quality of care. However, not all states opted in. Has your home state opted in? Use this link to check: https://www.medicaid.gov/state-overviews/index.html

In your response, explain whether your home state of Illinois opted in. Discuss the reasons they provided for doing so or not doing so? State your position on whether you feel they should or should not be a part of the expansion and why?
