Overwhelmed the state raise more than the threshold
Since the United States since the recession began a year ago, a number of states for low-income segments of the public health insurance plan (Medicaid) application of the sharp rise, while the state governments but because the economic downturn, tax revenue than forecast. To this end, some states began to increase the stringency of the application hearing.
Public health insurance plan for the nation's nearly 1 / 6 of the low-income families with medical insurance, about half of whom are children. In the September 30, 2007 ended budget year, the nation's expenditure on this project for 333 billion U.S. dollars, of which 57% by the federal government pay the rest borne by the states. However, the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities pointed out that this year or next year, 43 states will be a budget deficit, the deficit this year alone, the total reached 79 billion U.S. dollars.
As a result, states only began to raise the threshold for health insurance. League of American households, said the investigation report, 19 states have or plan to reduce the current budget year or in 2010, public health insurance and children's health insurance budgets.
In Arizona, the Government requires an adult to re-apply every six months on the public health insurance, a year before the application. This provision would apply is expected to reduce the number of 4,500.
California has also implemented the same measures for children, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also recommended that public health insurance plan covers the family's income level from 100% of the poverty line fell to 72%. In other words, a family of three want to join public health insurance, income levels fell below 17.6 thousand U.S. dollars from 12.6 thousand U.S. dollars below.
In addition, the Nevada abolished the treatment of adults with vision insurance. South Carolina provides prescription dispensary supplies up to 31 days. Rhode Island provides that only generic prescription drug before entering medical insurance.
At the same time, many of the governor also lobbied Barack Obama and Congress hoped to increase funding for public health insurance plan. They said that if the Government the burden of 40 billion U.S. dollars, you can basically eliminate the pressure on the states in this regard. |
