"Like most states, Kentucky already spends more of its budget on Medicaid — about $1.9 billion in the 2014 fiscal year — than almost anything else. But the report found that the expense of covering the new enrollees would be more than offset by the positive economic effects of expanding the program. They include new Medicaid revenue to health care providers — totaling more than $1 billion in 2014 alone, according to the report — and the resulting creation of jobs in health care and other professions."
