"Many of these families would qualify for Medicaid if states expanded their Medicaid programs. In Tennessee, a family of four with an income below $32,499 could get coverage. Should Tennessee expand its Medicaid program, the decision would have no impact on income taxes. The money is already being collected in Tennessee by the federal government, but none of the funds allocated for Medicaid expansion would be coming back here unless Tennessee expands Medicaid. The federal government will pick up 100 percent of the costs of insuring new people brought onto state Medicaid rolls through 2016 for those states that do expand their programs. It will then phase down to a permanent 90 percent matching rate in 2020."
