Individual, Business and/or Local Impact:
Individuals who decide to enroll in the Medicaid program because of the outreach program will receive medical assistance. Businesses who serve the new Medicaid clients will have an increase in revenues. Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable costs and/or benefits for local governments.
