Budget Shortfall in the Medicaid Program

Based on current projections, the Medicaid program is roughly $270 million ($78 million State General Fund) short for the continuation of existing programs and services and to absorb the increases in utilization of services and growth in service costs.

Part of the problem is due to the use of $44.8 million in non-recurring revenue sources in building the FY 2002 budget.

Pending Budget Issues for FY03

Page 61: KBC2002

61

Health Care for Inmates

Effective July 1, 2002, the federal government will no longer allow the use of federal financial participation in DSH payments for inmate medical services at “charity” hospitals.

Currently, HCSD provides $32 million of health care services to inmates at its facilities across the state.

Beginning in FY 2003, State General Fund will become the primary revenue source for this care.

Risk Management

Has not been fully funded to provide for anticipatedclaims $55 m.[Anticipated claims = $150 m.; $95 m. has been budgeted.]

Premium increases to cover road hazard claims and to restore reserves to an acceptable level $41 m.

Sheriffs’ Housing

Funding needed to cover projected state inmate population in local jails $8.7 m.

Pending Budget Issues for FY03

The MFP and Health Insurance

The Executive Budget provides $31.8 million for local school systems to pick up part of the tab for the increase in Group Insurance health care costs. This funding is not provided through the MFP, however.

BESE’s projected FY03 budget currently calls for the MFP to provide an additional $25 m. for school systems to address anticipated increases in the employer’s share of health insurance premiums. Further, the pending MFP resolution also seeks an additional $13.9 m. to address additional formula growth factors.

Tax Plan

Page 66: KBC2002

66

Tax Plan Proposal

• Eliminate 4-cent state sales tax on food and utilities. ($252.4 m.)

• Eliminate 4-cent state sales tax on businesses that purchase manufacturing machinery and equipment. ($162 m.)

• Reduce the personal income tax by restoring the deduction. ($90 m.)

Page 67: KBC2002

67

Tax Plan Proposal

• Phased-in using 10% and 20% reductions based on 3% and 6% growth rates respectively for each category over a period of time until the taxes are phased-out.

• The total amount of taxes estimated to be eliminated is approximately $500 million. Theoretically, 10 percent a year would be $50 million.

Page 68: KBC2002

68

Tax Plan Proposal

Tax on Utilities on Residences ($16.8 m. X 4) = $67.2 m.Tax on Food ($46.3 m. X 4) = $185.2 m.Restore Excess Itemized Deductions = $90.0 m.Manufact. Machinery & Equip. ($40.5 m. X 4) = $162.0 m.

TOTAL TAX CUT = $504.4 m.

ANNUAL TAX CUT OF 10% = $50.4 m.

Page 69: KBC2002

69

Tax Plan Observations

• Will guarantee the current revenue stream through FY03 because projected revenue growth level will not trigger a tax cut.

• In the event that at least one penny of the sales tax on food and utilities along with the renewal of the suspension of 1/2 of the excess itemized deduction were defeated this session, an additional $200 m. would have to be cut from a budget that’s already $100 m. in the hole.

Page 70: KBC2002

70

Tax Plan Observations

• Could eventually eliminate the “regressive” tax on food and utilities.

• The 4¢ sales tax on food and utilities is one of the more regressive taxes that can be imposed. The governor’s plan, if revenue growth thresholds occur, could lead to the elimination of this tax over a period of time.

Tax Plan Observations• Eliminates the need to renew taxes every two years.

•The current practice of renewing over $600 million in taxes every two years creates unnecessary turmoil in the budget process and makes for a very confusing and complicated budget and appropriations bill.

•The uncertainty of this revenue source is of some concern to Wall Street because of Louisiana’s significant debt. It is unlikely that the enactment of the governor’s plan will lead to an immediate upgrade in the state’s bond rating because of the many other budget uncertainties that the state still faces, but the elimination of this item will bring the state a little closer to an improved rating.

•The Tax Plan has the intention of being a ten-year phase out. There is no guarantee, however, either in the legislation or otherwise, that will ensure a ten-year elimination of the taxes.

•The mid-1990’s saw significant growth in revenue because of the start-up of the gaming industry — close to $500 million. Currently, there are not any new revenue sources on the horizon.

•If revenue decreases occur mid-year, there is no mechanism to take the tax cut back.

• This tax plan does not address our structural deficit ...

•Estimates indicate that it would take somewhere around $286 million to bring teachers’ pay up to the Southern average, and close to $280 million to bring university funding up to the average of Southern peers.

•This cannot be accomplished incrementally, because the average is a moving target and increases each year.

•The tax plan is not revenue-neutral nor is it tied to specific expenditure reform so that a clear picture of impact on state services is not available.

Classroom-based Technology: one-time revenues have helped provide over $70 million in hardware and software for the state's classrooms in recent years. The initiative has improved the student/computer ratio from 88:1 to 6:1.

• Since FY 1993, Louisiana has invested $615.9 million more State General Fund in its Medicaid program.

• During the same time period, the overall program has only grown $310.2 million.

• Without the stabilization of the state financial participation in the Medicaid program after the federal government ended the 3:1 Disproportionate Share Payments, severe cuts in the provision of services and reimbursement rates paid to providers would have been necessary.

Revenue from the gasoline and special fuels tax will grow by 1.3% next year while the cost of road construction and maintenance grows 4.5%.

Turnover in the state workforce is approaching 25% per year. This high rate of turnover is costly because it requires a larger workforce to do the job.

For the past 12 years, agencies have had to absorb the cost of merit raises ($33 million) and inflation ($61 million). By making agencies eat this cost, the savings of nearly $100 million can be used for other priorities of government. No one knows how much longer this practice can continue.

Under the Balanced Budget Act, the federal government placed a cap on the federal matching funds used in state Disproportionate Share Payments (DSH) Programs.

For FY 2003 and beyond, the DSH cap is $631 million.

In the current year, DHH is budgeted to spend $627.8 million in federal funds on DSH payments. Current estimates for FY 2003 project federal funds for DSH at $625.8 million.

Once the federal share of DSH expenditures reach $631 million, State General Fund will be required for any program growth or cuts will have to implemented.
