The Affordable Care Act (ACA) allowed states to offer expanded Medicaid coverage to low-income people (Healthcare.gov). As of April 2017, thirty-one states and the District of Columbia are participating in the expansion program (NBC, Advisory Board, Forbes). States offering expanded Medicaid coverage under the ACA or a future program will count as long as the coverage is offered to those meeting the poverty requirements of ACA's expansion program. _{Confused?
