Notes:
Positive numbers in table indicate spending, negative numbers indicate savings or revenue. Maximum amount is the peak cumulative cost of a provision over the period 2009-2019. Deficit impact is taken from CBO's deficit impact calculation for 2009-2019. Amount Spent as of 11/3/2012 (http://www.recovery.gov/?q=/content/agency-summary&agency_code=75).
*In the Budget and Economic Update in August 2009 (http://cbo.gov/ftpdocs/105xx/doc10521/08-25-BudgetUpdate.pdf), CBO estimated that an additional $2 billion would be made available for Medicaid matches, increasing the maximum amount for Health Care Spending. However, in the January 2010 baseline (http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/108xx/doc10871/01-26-Outlook.pdf), CBO estimated that total Medicaid matching will be $3 billion lower.
