Article

The share of individuals who will gain insurance coverage under the federal healthcare reform law will vary sharply from state to state, according to a report released Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

For instance, in Texas, Kaiser estimates that just 42% of the 6.2 million non-elderly uninsured residents will be eligible for Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program or subsidized private coverage.

By contrast, in California Kaiser estimates that 63% of the state’s 7 million non-elderly uninsured residents will qualify for publicly subsidized coverage under one of those programs. Only 17% of the currently uninsured who aren’t barred from receiving benefits because of immigration status will be excluded from some form of subsidized coverage.
