Abstract:
This report analyzes Medicaid enrollment and spending trends for the years 2000-2004. Rising enrollment and health care inflation produced most of Medicaid's spending increases during the period. Even with a stronger economy, however, Medicaid's enrollment pressures remain due to demographic trends and continued declines in employer sponsored insurance.
