Note: Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, and Montana expanded Medicaid in 2019 so it is listed under the “Expanded Medicaid” category. Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Utah expanded Medicaid in 2020 or 2021 so they are listed in the “Did Not Expand Medicaid” category to be consistent with the 2019 union density data.
