Many studies have found that in total expansion states have saved around 6.2 billion dollars in uncompensated care between 2013 and 2015.

Within the campaigning and petitioning portion to gain access to this proposition being listed on the election ballot, there were many officials and organizations that supported this Medicare expansion and worked to help gain the necessary support to allow this topic to be added onto the 2018 General Election voting Ballot in Idaho.

[6] There were also many persons and organizations that did not support Proposition 2, primarily the newly formed political action committee Work, Not Obamacare PAC, an offshoot of the Idaho Freedom Foundation.

The proposition was designed to address the Medicare gap that existed within the state by expanding Medicaid eligibility.

[9] This initiative was later modified to include requirements for Medicaid recipients to meet further qualifications to gain eligibility for the expanded program through the establishment of Senate Bill 1204.

The Plaintiff, Brent Regan, made the argument that through the passing of Proposition 2, the initiative violates the constitutional right of the state and the Medicaid expansion within Idaho delegates too much power to the Federal Government.

[14] This case was found to be ruled in favor of the Defendant, Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney.

The court ruled that Regan's concerns were based within the hypothetical and the judiciary branch was not the appropriate mediary at this time.

Through the Medicaid expansion efforts it is reported to have increased yearly coverage for persons earning up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level.
