Sample 1

Thank you for your post About Medicaid and Alabama. According to the United States Medicaid website  Alabama has adopted CMS guidelines for enrollment in Medicaid (Medicaid, 2016). In 2014, Alabama reported 17 out of 18, and 9 out of 10 healthcare quality measures for children and adults respectively. In comparison to other states, the percentile ranking for the child healthcare measures vary widely, ranging from the .1th percentile to the 98.6^th percentile.  Adult core measures range from the 4^th percentile to the 90^th percentile. To put these rankings in overall perspective, the Public Citizen Health Research Group ranks the Alabama Medicaid program as 42^nd in the country (Wolfe, 2007).  In the eligibility category, which Public Citizen considers the most important, Alabama ranks last.  In scope of services, quality of care, and reimbursement, Alabama ranks 49^th, 7^th, and 25^th respectively. Although Alabama spends close to the per capita average on health care it spends substantially less on Medicaid than the national average (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2009). Alabama spends $4,847  per enrollee per year whereas the national average is $6,833 (Ballotpedia, 2016). As per the table below Alabama spends less than many of its southern neighbors (Ballotpedia, 2016).
