Florida would save money over the next decade—not lose billions as Gov. Rick Scott has argued—by accepting Medicaid expansion under federal healthcare reforms, according to a detailed economic study. Jack Hoadley, a senior researcher with the Georgetown Health Policy Institute, said the study was the first to calculate spin-off savings in other state programs if Florida accepted the expansion, which over the next 10 years could bring $26 billion in federal funds to provide insurance to an estimated 815,000 to 1.3 million Florida residents who are now uninsured.
