The Kaiser Family Foundation recently released a brief outlining five potential responses available to states if lawmakers approve a Medicaid per capita cap proposed in the American Health Care Act.
The five options states have to respond to the per capita caps, as stated by KFF, are:
1. Implement a tax increase or reduce the budget
2. Decrease benefits that aren't mandated
3. Set limits for coverage of expensive enrollees
4. Decrease provider rates or put delivery system reforms in place
5. Put policies in place "to promote personal responsibility or skin in the game"
Read more about these options here in the full brief.
