Fiscal Detail and Notes
Assumes the $300,000 in General Fund savings booked for SFY 2005 from the Katie Beckett cost sharing initiative reflected a full year of savings.  Assuming a full year of savings have been incorporated in the MaineCare budget baseline for each year of the 2006-2007 biennium, repeal of the initiative would result in a loss of these savings to the MaineCare program.
