The Modern Medicaid Alliance’s Medicaid Dashboard is an essential resource for federal and state leaders looking for state-by-state information on Medicaid coverage.
Why it matters: Medicaid is the largest healthcare program in the U.S., covering about 25% of Americans. The newly updated Medicaid Dashboard highlights the latest, most comprehensive enrollment research and state-specific reports for all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
How to advocate:
Follow these tips to learn how to get the most out of the Dashboard:
- Demonstrate the strong support for Medicaid through advocacy tools and educational resources.
- Advocate for specific policies to strengthen Medicaid coverage by sharing with state chapters to compare their Medicaid programs to those in neighboring states. Partners can use the state-specific pages and the “download report” function to compare state Medicaid programs and help advance their goals in each state.
- Identify potential new partners based on population-specific data (e.g., children, people with disabilities, or older adults) provided by the Dashboard. Partners can use the Dashboard’s population-specific data to identify opportunities for partnership with other groups that advocate for or work closely with a given population.
