or at least most of it

States account for 37% of Medicaid spending on average

Atlasian Healthcare ($1261.14 Billion)
$423.77 Billion... Senior Healthcare
$44.31 Billion.... Veteran Healthcare
$12.90 Billion.... Federal employees' and retired employees' health benefits
$388.98 Billion... Healthcare Subsidy (Medicaid (Federal Portion)+CHIP)
$36.44 Billion ... Healthcare Subsidy (Medicaid Underutilized Expansion Est. Fed Costs)
$338.85 Billion... Healthcare Subsidy (Sliding Scale for rest of population)
$15.89 Billion.... Healthcare Subsidy Office (HSO) and AtlasCare Office (ACO) Administration

here's the healthcare spending breakdown

So then it is not the shortfall

I was talking about the revenue side

You see we are already beneath RL

Medicare and Medicaid alone are

1.2 Trillion in RL

here's other revenue

Healthcare Taxes:
Healthcare Payroll Tax - $ 856.1 Billion
5% (2.5% on employees, 2.5% on employers)

ACA Originated Taxes:
40% Cadillac Tax - $ 0.00 Billion
0.9% Payroll Tax - $ 263.35 Billion
3.8% on Net Investment Income - $ 12.80 Billion

Excise Taxes:
Carbon Tax - $ 16.35 Billion
Gasoline Tax - $ 50.00 Billion
Tobacco and Alcohol Taxes - $ 24.20 Billion
Excise taxes on health insurance providers,
pharmaceuticals, and medical devices - $ 9.90 Billion

Customs Duties: $ 36.30 Billion

Other Revenue: $ 105.00 Billion

and see, it doesn't mention state contributions to Medicaid

Sp healthcare is under by about $200 billion

hmm

WE are going to need to do a bill to on the Medicaid situation

ok

Here is the problem

the budget is acting as if both the Spending and revenue still occurs at the state level

as if nothing had changed

But Medicaid doesnt' exist

anymore

So what is that money going to

so how exactly did atlascare affect that

Abolished Medicaid

and incorporated it into the subsidy

So the entire cost of Mediciad is borne through the subsidy at the federal level

and the federal expense list should include both portions

Our deficit is thus worse than what the GM department says

💀

We need to find a way to transfer that state revenue to the federal level to cover the state portion presently not included

that 39%

is about $234 billion

which is the same amount that the deficit is undervalued by

1,134 Trillion

or somewhere around there

yep

The good news is this is funded

the money is just sitting in the wrong place

1.138 T

We have to find a way to get that money kicked up to the federal level

Either with regional agreements,
