Kathleen Sebelius has a website that breaks down what healthcare means to each state. The link to Missouri is here.
Here are a few of the big numbers:
790,000 residents who do not currently have insurance and 335,000 residents who have nongroup insurance could get affordable coverage through the health insurance exchange.
516,000 residents could qualify for premium tax credits to help them purchase health coverage.
961,000 seniors would receive free preventive services.
171,000 seniors would have their brand-name drug costs in the Medicare Part D “doughnut hole” halved.
79,900 small businesses could be helped by a small business tax credit to make premiums more affordable.
