Ya, I generally agree that Mississippi run medicaid should probably be paying less for drugs than Connecticut run medicaid. I can see how that might be tricky

Ya, I generally agree that Mississippi run medicaid should probably be paying less for drugs than Connecticut run medicaid.
I can see how that might be tricky to get to politically though.
- maxerickson 10y agoThe federal share of Medicaid does vary by state: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/financing-and-reimbursement/ https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/financing-and-reimbursemen... https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/fy2017-federal-medical-assistance-percentages https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/fy2017-federal-medical-ass...
- harryh 10y agoThat's about funding though right? And now about how much the individual state programs pay for things (like prescription drugs). In the end does it work out to be the same thing? Maybe? I'm uncertain.
- maxerickson 10y agoIt's at least a similar sort of thing. Critical access hospitals and rural health clinics probably overlap too, where Medicare pays out to smaller qualifying facilities using a different formula.
