Description
|
Modifies the appropriation for the Health Care Fund to reflect the latest revenue estimates. Tobacco taxes are projected to increase by $2.2 million in FY 2017 and $2.7 million in FY 2018 based on the Department of Taxation's revised forecast. Conversely, Medicaid recoveries are expected to decline by $1.7 million in FY 2017 and $1.5 million in FY 2018. The estimates also assume that FY 2017 will begin with a $17.9 million prior year cash balance. Since the fund is used as state match for Medicaid, any change in revenue to the fund impacts general fund support for Medicaid. |
