- Abstract
Policy Points Twelve states have yet to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Louisiana offers a model of steps that states and counties can take to rapidly enroll eligible persons while balancing eligibility integrity and doing so within a limited administrative budget.

Even though Louisiana compares well with other states in eligibility and enrollment efforts, future expansions may integrate other social support programs into their implementation strategies., (© 2021 Milbank Memorial Fund.)
