Medicaid spending growth is expected to slow from 9.6 percent in 2009 to 7.8 percent in 2012 due to projected improving economic conditions. However, as the relatively expensive aged and disabled eligibility groups comprise a larger share of total Medicaid enrollment through 2018, spending growth is expected to accelerate to 8.9 percent by the end of the coming decade.
The health care spending projection data can be found on the CMS Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalHealthExpendData/03_NationalHealthAccountsProjected.asp.
