State Status and News

The table below describes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act-related status of each of the sovereign states of the United States, plus the District of Columbia federal enclave. For each political subdivision, the table provides subdivision name, two-letter code, population, number of Medicaid recipients, total Medicaid payout in millions of dollars, percentage of the population receiving Medicaid, mean Medicaid dollars spent per recipient, number of individuals earning less than 100% of federal poverty level, percetage of population earning less than poverty level, the party affiliation of the Governor, the party affiliation of the Attorney General, and PPACA litigation status. Clicking on the code associated with any subdivision returns news (if any) related to that subdivision.

The PPACA litigation status is “Yes-FL” if the subdivision has formally joined in Florida's suit, “Yes-VA” if the subdivision has joined Virginia's suit, or “Yes-2” if the state has indicated that it will pursue litigation. Utah is contemplating multiple civil suits. The citizens of Mississippi are pursuing class-action litigation but may and the state is also participateing in the Florida suit (marked “Yes-3”). In Missouri, the Lt. Governor is pursuing litigation (marked “Yes-4”).

There are seven states that appoint attorneys general: Alaska (appointed by governor), Hawaii (appointed by governor), Maine (appointed by legislature), New Hampshire (appointed by governor), New Jersey (appointed by governor), Tennessee (appointed by state supreme court), Wyoming (appointed by governor).
