The Leviticus 25 Plan – the most powerful economic acceleration plan in the world: economic scoring summary.
5. Medicaid/CHIP Recapture
Each U.S. citizen participating in The Plan will receive a $30,000 deposit, funded through a Federal Reserve-based Citizens Credit Facility, into a personal Medical Savings Account (MSA).
The Leviticus 25 Plan assumes 80% participation by Medicaid / CHIP enrollees.
Within this comprehensive economic plan, The U.S. Health Care Freedom Plan provides
Medical Savings Account (MSA) funding of $30,000 to cover the $6,000 deductible for Medicaid and CHIP eligible primary care events and select out-patient care services – primarily related to routine medical appointments, Medicaid prescription events, disease state monitoring clinics, and other desired primary care services.
September 2023 Medicaid & CHIP Enrollment – 88,414,773 individuals were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP in the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reported enrollment data for September 2023. 81,408,432 individuals were enrolled in Medicaid. 7,006,341 individuals were enrolled in CHIP.
The 88,414,773 enrollment level represents a decrease of 2,518,996 (2.77%) from the Sep 2022 ‘Covid-period’ enrollment of 90,933,769. It represents an increase of 4,799,996 (5.74%) from the July 2021 ‘pre-Covid’ enrollment of 83,614,777 individuals.
Using a conservative estimate of 90.0 million for 2024, with a projected 2% annual growth rate:
2024: 90.0 million
2025: 91.8 million
2026: 93.6 million
2027: 95.5 million
2028: 97.4 million
2029: 99.3 million
Total: 477.6 million receiving benefits 2025-2029
Average annual enrollment (2025-2029): 95.52 million
95.52 million X .8 = 76.42 million X $6,000/year X 5 years = $2.293 trillion
Total Medicaid/CHIP recapture during the 5-year target period (2025-2029): $2.293 trillion
Note 1: The potential savings of $2.296 trillion do not take into account the additional savings to state government outlays, which range from 15% to 35% of total Medicaid-CHIP spending.
Note 2: The potential savings of $2.296 trillion does not take into account the likelihood of additional savings from individuals no longer being eligible for Medicaid-CHIP, due to their improving financial status.

6. Medicare Recapture
Each U.S. citizen participating in The Plan will receive a $30,000 deposit, funded through a Federal Reserve-based Citizens Credit Facility, into a personal Medical Savings Account (MSA).
The Leviticus 25 Plan assumes 80% participation by Medicare enrollees.
Within this comprehensive economic plan, The U.S. Health Care Freedom Plan provides
Medical Savings Account (MSA) funding of $30,000 to cover the $6,000 deductible for Medicare-eligible primary care events and select out-patient services – primarily related to routine medical appointments, Medicare Part D prescription events, disease state monitoring clinics, and other desired primary care services.
There were 65,954,976 people are enrolled in Medicare as of May 2023.
Projection: Medicare spending growth is projected to average 7.2% over 2021-2030, the fastest rate among the major payers. Projected spending growth of 11.3% in 2021 is expected to be mainly influenced by an assumed acceleration in utilization growth, while growth in 2022 of 7.5% is expected to reflect more moderate growth in use, as well as lower fee-for-service payment rate updates and the phasing in of sequestration cuts. Spending is projected to exceed $1 trillion for the first time in 2023. By 2030, Medicare spending growth is expected to slow to 4.3% as the Baby Boomers are no longer enrolling and as further increases in sequestration cuts occur.
Applying a conservative projected enrollment growth rate of 4.0% annually through 2029.
For the 5-year target period (2025 – 2029):
2023: 65.95 X .8 X $6,000 = $316,560,000
2024: 68.59 X .8 X $6,000 = $329,232,000
2025: 71.33 X .8 X $6,000 = $342,384,000
2026: 74.18 X .8 X $6,000 = $356,064,000
2027: 77.15 X .8 X $6,000 = $370,430,000
2028: 80.24 X .8 X $6,000 = $385,152,000
2029: 83.45 X .8 X $6,000 = $400,560,000
Total Medicare recapture during the 5-year target period (2025-2029): $1.855 trillion
