West Virginia Medicaid expansion could cost 14 million yearly
A draft WVU study shows extending the Aged and Disabled Waiver to all on the wait list would cost the state about 2.6 million in year one and 14.7 million by year five, with federal share rising from 6.4 to 36.1 million. The plan would add 1,140 jobs by year five and generate about 1.7 million in new state tax revenue, offsetting roughly 12 percent of costs. The current program created 3,600 jobs and spurred 285 million in direct and indirect business spending.
