18 ACA Replacement Options 18

19 Full Replacements House Republicans: A Better Way Young adults can stay on parents plans until age 26 Rep. Tom Price: Empowering Patients First Act Eliminate young adults ability to stay on parents plans until age 26 Burr-Hatch-Upton: Patient CARE Act Young adults can stay on parents plans until age 26 Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions with continuous coverage Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions with continuous coverage Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions with continuous coverage Age adjusted refundable tax credits for individual market coverage Age adjusted refundable tax credits for individual market coverage Age and income adjusted refundable tax credits for individual and small group coverage Expand health savings accounts Expand health savings accounts Expand health savings accounts $25 billion over 10 years to states for high-risk pools Shift Medicaid to block grant or per-capita allotment $3 billion over 3 years to states for high-risk pools Eliminate Medicaid expansion Authorize states to establish highrisk pools with unspecified amount of federal funding Shift Medicaid to per-capita allotment 19

20 Partial Replacement: Cassidy- Collins Patient Freedom Act States can choose to: 1. Keep the ACA s insurance reforms and affordability provisions, with 95% of current tax credit and cost-sharing funding. 2. Implement a new market-based insurance system: autoenrollment of uninsured residents in a basic catastrophic plan with federal funding of health savings accounts. States get 95% of current tax credit and cost-sharing funding. Medicaid expansion states get current federal match amount for Medicaid expansion; non-expansion states get 95% of the federal match they would have received under expansion. 3. Decline the ACA s insurance and affordability provisions and the federal funding offered in Option 2, effectively providing no coverage expansion to residents. 20

21 Proposed Changes to Medicaid Financing 21

22 Block Grants Federal government gives states fixed dollar amount, states pay for all costs above cap Growth is tied to general inflation (less than health care inflation rate) States shoulder increasing costs over time: 22 SOURCE: Center for Budget and Policy Priorities

23 Per Capita Caps Federal government gives states fixed perenrollee payment, states pay for all costs above Children, adults, elderly, people with disabilities could have different caps Payments based on a base year of per-enrollee spending Growth is tied to general inflation (less than health care inflation rate) Somewhat more responsive to enrollment needs than block grants 23 SOURCE: Kaiser Family Foundation

24 Projected Impact on Federal Funding to States Block grant: Decreased federal funding for 49 states Per capita cap: Increased federal funding for 24 states 24 SOURCE: Avalere

25 Impact on Provider Taxes 49 states have a Medicaid-related provider or insurer tax MI: Provider tax revenue covers 25% of state s Medicaid expenses and generates additional federal funding: State collects taxes from providers FY15-16 provider tax revenue: $1.1 billion State uses revenue to spend more on Medicaid services State portion of Medicaid expenditures: $4.3 billion State gets more federal dollars through current match rate Federal portion of Medicaid expenditures: $12.9 billion State pays back providers through increased Medicaid reimbursement rate Block grant/per capita cap prevents states from drawing additional federal funds through provider taxes 25 SOURCES: National Conference of State Legislatures, House Fiscal Agency
