This analysis examines the potential impacts on states, Medicaid enrollees, and providers of implementing a per capita cap on federal Medicaid spending, which is one proposal that has been discussed in Congress.

Given the likelihood of multiple, simultaneous changes to Medicaid and the interactive nature of those changes, the analysis also illustrates the effects of a per capita cap on Medicaid if implemented jointly with the elimination of the 90% federal match rate for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expansion.
