Medicaid expansion boosts Michigan’s economy and will more than pay for itself

Michigan’s Medicaid expansion has boosted the state’s economy and budget, and will continue to do so for at least the next five years, a new study finds. The expansion’s total economic impact will generate more than enough funds for the state to cover its share of the program’s cost, and create 30,000 new jobs and $2.3 billion in personal spending power every year.
