Medicaid Spending Growth Remained Modest in 1998, But Likely Headed Upward
This paper provides a brief review of Medicaid spending and enrollment trends throughout
the 1990s, then takes a closer look at the most recent available administrative data from 1998. The last section discusses several factors that appear to be causing both reported increases in Medicaid spending in 1999 and 2000 and predictions of higher growth rates in the near future.
