With a population of nearly 40 million as of 2018, California has by far the largest annual state expenditures albeit lower on a per-capita basis than 20 smaller states. [28] [29] California receives a significant amount of money from the federal government, especially for healthcare and welfare programs, but also has large in-state ...
Hixon reported a study by Princeton Professor Uwe Reinhardt that concluded about $1,200 per person (in 2008 dollars) or about a third of the gap with peer countries in healthcare spending was due to higher levels of per-capita income. Higher income per-capita is correlated with using more units of healthcare. [8] Americans receive more medical ...
A number of states have a two-year or three year budget (e.g.: Kentucky) while others have a one-year budget (e.g.: Massachusetts). In the table, the fiscal years column lists all of the fiscal years the budget covers and the budget and budget per capita columns show the total for all those years.
The guidelines for calculating the FMAP are outlined in the Social Security Act and they exclusively determine the ratio of matching funds for each state's Medicaid program. Section 2105(b)of the Act stipulate that "Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages," or Enhanced FMAPs, will be calculated at the same time as the FMAPs.
The largest increase has been in the form of Medicaid expenditures (Leonard and Walder, Page 47-54). The changes in taxes have remained fairly stable over time, and are strongly correlated with income per capita per state. It follows that as state's per capita income rises, its tax receipt also increases.
Per capita, the US spends more on pharmaceuticals than any other country, although expenditures on pharmaceuticals accounts for a smaller share (13%) of total healthcare costs compared to an OECD average of 18% (2003 figures). [295] Some 25% of out-of-pocket spending by individuals is for prescription drugs. [296]
