KFF map of the U.S. showing states with hospital or managed care organization provider taxes in excess of 3.5% of net patient revenues in SFY 2024 that have also adopted the ACA expansion. The map shows the Senate reconciliation bill could decrease revenues from provider taxes on hospitals or managed care organizations in 22 states.

If Congress passes the reconciliation bill with the Senate Finance provision, 22 states could be required to reduce their provider taxes on either hospitals or managed care organizations, cutting a key source of state Medicaid funding in those states: on.kff.org/3I0KN0h
