Abstract

This one-pager, written by Hilltop Director of Analytics and Research Morgan Henderson, Senior Data Scientist Leigh Goetschius, and Interim Executive Director Alice Middleton, quantifies the impact of removing the 50% Medicaid Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) floor on the federal Medicaid funding to states. The one-pager estimates the federal funding decreases overall and for each of the ten states that would be the most impacted.
