Medicaid provides vital health care services to over 70 million Americans, including children, seniors and hardworking families.
As a joint federal-state program, states rely on taxes to help finance their share of Medicaid funding. By establishing a provider tax structure across hospitals, nursing homes and other providers, states can maintain stable and sustainable funding for Medicaid coverage and benefits without having to increase taxes on consumers through increased property, sales or income taxes. As a result, states have a consistent and stable source of Medicaid funding that can be independent from federal funding to the program.
