General Distribution Memorandum

This congressional distribution memorandum, prepared to enable distribution to more than one congressional client, summarizes existing analyses of the impact of the new federal health reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), on state costs. The memorandum identifies select coverage provisions (specifically Medicaid and private health insurance) that relate directly to state costs, and discusses the challenges to producing state-level estimates. Such challenges include the pre-reform variation across states; uncertainty about future federal guidance and regulations relating to health reform implementation; state decisions regarding such implementation; data issues; and other factors outside of the health reform law and its implementation.
