The number of uninsured Hoosiers would drop 54.6 percent, the eighth-largest decrease among states, according to the report by the Urban Institute for the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured. That would leave about 8 percent of the state's non-elderly population without health insurance, compared with 17 percent now.
Changes within the state range from a 48.9 percent decrease in the uninsured in the Indianapolis, Speedway and Beech Grove area, to a 63.5 percent decrease in the Huntington, Bluffton and Decatur area.
Indiana has so far decided not to expand eligibility for Medicaid, the joint federal and state health care program for the poor.
