Answer: implicit liabilities will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Implicit liabilities are incurred by government as a result of them having to take care of their citizens. Medicaid is one such liability.

If the government were to expand the percentage of people in the country that are to be covered by medical aid, this would mean that more Medicaid will be paid by the government which means that the implicit liabilities will increase.
