About The Study: In this nationwide analysis, emergency Medicaid accounted for only a small fraction of total Medicaid expenditures. Although states with larger undocumented populations spent approximately 15 times more per capita, emergency Medicaid still constituted less than 1% of overall Medicaid spending even in states with large undocumented populations, posing a limited fiscal burden on Medicaid. These results suggest that cuts to emergency Medicaid will produce minimal overall cost savings and will disproportionately harm states with large undocumented populations.
