Natrona Collective Health Trust and partners commissioned REMI to analyze the state-level and regional economic impacts of both worst-case Medicaid cuts and Medicaid expansion scenarios in Wyoming during the 2026-2030 study period. REMI used PI+ as a basis for this analysis.
REMI forecasted that Medicaid cuts could hurt the Wyoming economy by lowering employment growth by an average of 192 jobs, slowing GDP growth by $27.8 million per year, and decreasing disposable personal income growth by $14.6 million annually.
REMI’s analysis showed that Medicaid expansion in Wyoming would have economic benefits of a higher magnitude. The report finds that employment would increase by 440 jobs per year on average, GDP would be $60.9 million higher on average each year, and disposable personal income would increase by $41.5 million annually.
