     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Incentivizing Medicaid Expansion Act of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill provides an enhanced federal matching rate to every state that expands Medicaid&amp;nbsp;coverage for&amp;nbsp;individuals who are newly eligible under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, regardless of when&amp;nbsp;such expansion takes place. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under current law, the enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) is equivalent to 100% in 2014 through 2016, 95% in 2017, 94% in 2018, 93% in 2019, and 90% thereafter. The bill retains this enhanced FMAP, but bases it on a term of years rather than on specific dates.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill applies retroactively.&lt;/p&gt;
