Medicaid enrollment for inmates released from state prison
In states that expanded Medicaid, almost all exiting prisoners qualify for coverage. But some of these states only enroll select groups of prisoners, like those with disabilities. Others don't have any programs to enroll exiting inmates. In states that did not expand Medicaid, some still offer enrollment programs for select groups of prisoners that qualify.

Note: Wisconsin increased the number of people eligible for Medicaid but did not meet certain terms of the Affordable Care Act. So it’s not considered an “expansion state.”
