handle is hein.gao/gaobaclav0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Health, Education and Human Services Division B-266012 September 15, 1995 The Honorable Bob Graham United States Senate Dear Senator Graham: Earlier this year, the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee passed the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Reauthorization Act of 1995 (S. 641). The committee's proposed legislation would change the title I and II funding formulas so that funds would be distributed based on an estimate of the number of people living with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the cost of delivering services to these people. These changes would potentially affect the current distribution of funding to eligible metropolitan areas (EMA) and states.' Your office asked us to calculate EMA and state grants based on (1) the formulas found in S. 641 as of April 3, 1995, and (2) the same formulas without a cost factor-- that is, based only on an estimate of the number of people living with AIDS. Accordingly, we have calculated these grants using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to estimate AIDS caseloads and data from the Health Care Financing Administration to estimate service costs. Enclosure 1 displays the results for title I, and enclosure 2 shows the results for title I1.2 These results demonstrate the distribution of funding under the alternative formulas in the first and fifth years. In these calculations, we assume no growth in the title I and II appropriations. Also, the proposed S. 641 includes funding floors so that, relative to their grants 1States includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the territories. 2The results for title I include seven metropolitan areas that are expected to be deemed new EMAs in fiscal year 1996.
