How can Medicaid provide provider taxes affect the scope?
Orris said Medicaid provider taxes offer a way for states to gather money for non -federal financing for the program. He said that if the states are limited to how they can do it, the Federal government would spend less on Medicaid.
Orris said that there was a decrease in CBO’s provider taxes as a Medicaid segment, because states were assumed to be unable to replace this income.
In response to restrictions on provider taxes, Orris said that states could make decisions that would cause states to lose their scope of Medicaid. Based on the home version of the bill, he estimated that CBO may lose the scope of Medicaid based on the proposed changes in the provider taxes of approximately 400,000 people.
