Three years into ACA expansions, the Kaiser
Foundation has highlighted how four states, including CT, are streamlining
eligibility and enrollment. Researchers used focus groups and case studies to
find that eligibility and enrollment systems worked well through the expansion
and while Medicaid enrollment grew quickly in the beginning, it has now stabilized.
While marketplace enrollment grew in each state, affordability has been the
greatest challenge to further growth. Local outreach and enrollment by a broad
range of community partners is key and states continue planning to sustain and
expand coverage.
