KHI-Preliminary estimates for Medicaid/CHIP or subsidy eligibility through the Health Insurance Exchange

A memo from the Kansas Health Institute to the Kansas Health Benefit Exchange Background Research Work group outlining estimates for six basic Exchange planning questions:

• What is the total Kansas non-elderly population?
• Based on income levels, how many Kansans are estimated to be eligible for Medicaid
  or CHIP in 2014?
• How many Kansans are estimated to be eligible for federal subsidies through the
  Exchange?
• How many Kansans may be eligible for Medicaid/CHIP or federally subsidized
  coverage through the Exchange?
• How many Kansans will use the Exchange to purchase insurance, regardless of
  whether they qualify for subsidized coverage?
• How many of the 347,000 Kansans who are currently uninsured will be eligible for
  Medicaid/CHIP or federally subsidized coverage through the Exchange?
