MEDICAID EXPANSION WOULD IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH IN TEXAS

This week the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report showing how expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act would improve the lives of people with mental illness in states that have not yet opted for the expansion.

Some key numbers from the report include:

An estimated 23% of Texans ages 18-64 experienced some form of mental illness or substance abuse disorder in 2014. This percentage is even higher for the uninsured.

If Texas expands Medicaid coverage under the ACA, at least 406,000 Texans could directly benefit from having greater access to mental healthcare.

The stakes are clear: expanding Medicaid would improve mental health in Texas.
