NOTES: Beneficiary counts based on 1999 data from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, Current Population Survey, and administrative records. State Medicaid savings estimates based on CBO scoring of Medicaid effects and administrative data on state drug spending for dually eligible beneficiaries; for several states with missing or incomplete data, figures were imputed. Actual savings may vary depending on the distribution of drug spending in each state and other factors.
