The Leviticus 25 Plan – the most powerful economic acceleration plan in the world: economic scoring summary.

________________________

Medicaid/CHIP RecaptureThe Leviticus 25 Plan assumes 80% participation by Medicaid / CHIP enrollees.

Each U.S. citizen participating in The Plan will receive a $30,000 deposit, funded through a Federal Reserve / U.S. Treasury Department-based Citizens Credit Facility, into a personal Medical Savings Account (MSA).

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.

August 2024 Medicaid & CHIP Enrollment – 79,440,518 individuals were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP in the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reported enrollment data for August 2024.  72,288,385 people were enrolled in Medicaid.  7,152,133 people were enrolled in CHIP.

Using a conservative estimate of 79.5 million for 2025, with a projected annual growth rate of 2%:

2025:  79.5 million

2026:  81.09 million

2027:  82.71 million

2028:  84.36 million

2029:  86.05 million

2030:  87.77 million

Total:  421.98 million receiving benefits 2026-2030

Average annual enrollment (2026-2030): 84.4 million

84.4 million X .8 = 67.52 million X $6,000/year X 5 years = $2.026 trillion

Total Medicaid/CHIP recapture during the 5-year target period (2026-2030):  $2.026 trillion

Note 1:  The potential savings of $2.296 trillion does not take into account the additional savings to state and local government outlays, which range from 17% to 39% of total Medicaid-CHIP spending.

Note 2:  The potential savings of $2.026 trillion does not take into account the certainty of additional savings from individuals no longer being eligible for Medicaid-CHIP, due to their improving financial status.

Medicare RecaptureThe Leviticus 25 Plan assumes 80% participation by Medicare enrollees.

Each U.S. citizen participating in The Plan will receive a $30,000 deposit, funded through a Federal Reserve / U.S Treasury Department-based Citizens Credit Facility, into a personal Medical Savings Account (MSA).

Within this comprehensive economic plan, The U.S. Health Care Freedom Plan provides

Medical Savings Account (MSA) funding of $30,000 to cover a $6,000 annual 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 67.8 million people are enrolled in Medicare as of August 2024. 

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%.

Applying a conservative projected enrollment growth rate of 4.0% annually through 2030,        

for the 5-year target period (2026 – 2030):

2024:  67.80 X .8 X $6,000 = $325,440,000

2025:  70.51 X .8 X $6,000 = $338,448,000

2026:  73.33 X .8 X $6,000 = $351,998,000

2027:  76.26 X .8 X $6,000 = $366,048,000

2028:  79.31 X .8 X $6,000 = $380,688,000

2029:  82.48 X .8 X $6,000 = $395,904,000

2030:  85.78 X .8 X $6.000 = $411,744,000

Total Medicare recapture during the 5-year target period (2026-2030):  $1.906 trillion

Social Security Disability Income (SSDI)The Leviticus 25 Plan specifies that qualifying participants will not be eligible for SSDI benefits.

The Plan assumes 80% participation.

Number, average, and total monthly benefits, November 2024: 8,336,000 recipients

Total annual SSDI payments, November 2024: $140.496 billion.

This projection assumes a conservative 3% growth per year for 2026-2030, covering both enrollment growth and COLA:  

2024:  $140.496 billion

2025:  $144.711 billion

2026:  $149.052 billion

2027:  $153.524 billion

2028:  $158.130 billion

2029:  $162.874 billion

2030:  $167.760 billion

Total:  $791.340 billion / Average per year: $158.268 billion

Total for 5-year target period 2026-2030:

Plan assumes 80% participation – recapture:  $791.340 billion X 0.8 = $633.072 billion

“SSDI benefits are financed primarily by part of the Social Security payroll tax and totaled about $152 billion in 2023.”

“Social Security’s trustees project that the share of people in the United States receiving SSDI will rise somewhat over the next 20 years and then remain stable.”

Note:  The 3% growth projection, covering both the enrollment increase and annual COLA, is likely a conservative estimation for the period 2026-2030.
