Calif. Could Save $1.4B Annually by Shifting State, Local Government Workers to ACA Coverage, Study Finds
A new study by Stanford University researchers finds that California could save about $1.4 billion annually by shifting hundreds of thousands of state and local government workers to less expensive coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Nationwide, the U.S. could save nearly $12 billion annually by shifting retirees under age 65 and low-income government workers to ACA coverage, according to the study.
