State's Medicaid Costs Increase
Medicaid, providing medical care for low income
people, is paid for by both the federal government and
the states and is administered by the states. The federal
government determines the percent to be paid by the
states each year based on the income levels in the states
over the prior three years. Though we are proud of the
fact that incomes in Iowa have increased more than in
many other states, that fact hurts us when it comes to
Medicaid ft f dirig:'For the upcoming fiscal year 2015,
the federal government's share will go down to 56.14%.
This compares to 58.35% for fiscal '14, the current fiscal
year and 63.29% in fiscal 2010. The state must pay the
rest. Though the increase might not seem like much,
when we are talking about a $3.7 billion program even
a few percentage points makes a big difference. Another
factor that will increase the cost to the state is the ad-
vent of Obamacare. It is expected that enrollment in
Medicaid will increase significantly because a number
of new people will be forced to sign up. The increased
cost to Iowa will be $80 million in fiscal year 2015 as
compared to fiscal year 2014.
As always, feel free to contact me with your ideas or
concems.
