No its way beyond the "paper stage" now..
No.... Its the program as a whole... Not just new, not just old, the whole entire program.
Again. No. The federal government covers the portion indicated of the program as a whole....
no it doesn't. the 10% is only for NEW enrollies. If the person would have qualified under the old system then the state has to enroll them and the 40/50 or whatever the split is takes affect. the cbpp isn't calculating in the this fact. just like you ignored it.
the 90/10 split only covers the Medicaid expansion. the states are continuing to pay the 60/40 splits for old patients and if new people signing up meet the criteria for the old system then they are charged for that.
Daily Briefing primer: ACA's Medicaid expansion | The Advisory Board Daily Briefing
From 2014 to 2017, the federal government will pay for 100% of the difference between a state's current Medicaid eligibility level and the ACA minimum. Federal contributions to the expansion will drop to 95% in 2017 and remain at 90% after 2020, according to the ACA.
it doesn't cover the WHOLE program just the expansion. So if you sign up and were eligible under the old system then you get put into that and the state wracks up the 60/40 cost. the federal government will only cover the expansion part not the legacy system.
But hey its not just good for the uninsured, its also good news for the economy!
"The Medicaid expansion is projected to generate increased state economic activity, such asincreases in state output, Gross State Product (GSP) and state and local revenues. Similar toprevious finding, a review of economic analyses of the Medicaid expansion show that Medicaid funds willdirectly support health care providers as individuals gain insurance and better access to health care services.However, since the federal government pays for the entire cost of coverage for newly eligible beneficiaries forthe first three years, a new surge of federal funds will flow into states with relatively little additional state costs.Studies show, therefore, that new funds as a result of the Medicaid expansion are anticipated to have anoticeable and sustained increase in state economic activity. Regardless of the economic impact model used, allof the studies analyzed anticipate positive increases to state output and Gross State Product (GSP). Themagnitude of the impact depends on the level of current and anticipated new Medicaid funding and theeconomic conditions within the state.The Medicaid expansion is expected to have a positive effect on jobs and earnings. Theseeconomic models also show the implications for jobs. Again, given the increase in spending and the influx ofnew federal funds that will filter through state economies, the studies show increases in employment. Anumber of studies also show increases in salaries and earnings tied to new jobs. " https://kaiserfamilyfoundation.file...tate-economies-looking-forward-to-the-aca.pdf
lol parroting obamacare misnomers is not facts.
neither is posting the left wing cbpp.
as i said you don't care about facts or impact that expanding Medicaid will have on the state. if FL expands Medicaid just wait for the income tax to pay for it.
Medicaid expansion is hugely bad for the state and the fact that they stepped into a wide hole in the ground without reading the fine print is exactly why you should read before you pass it.
rick scott should sue the SCOTUS already ruled on this and said that the federal government cannot cut funding to force states to expand Medicaid.
once again we see Obama breaking the law and doing his own thing.
