Report To The Chairman,

Subcommittee On Health

Committee On Finance

United States Senate






Options For Improving Formulas In

The Health Care For Unemployed

Workers Program


GAO was asked to comment on formulas
proposed to distribute Federal aid to States
to help finance health care for certain unem-
ployed workers. Specifically, GAO was to
determine the adequacy of formulas con-
tained in Senate bill S.951 and three alterna-
tive proposals from the standpoint of how
each would (1) provide equal program bene-
fits for eligible recipients living in different
States (equal benefits) and (2) require States
to undertake equal tax burdens in financing
the State share of program costs.

In terms of these objectives, GAO found that
the formulas described in S.951 produce
several inequities. This report presents and
analyzes alternative formulas which will
provide a more equitable distribution of Fed-
eral funds in terms of equalizing program
benefits and tax burdens for congressional
consideration.
