Basic Health Program (Affordable Care Act) — CFDA 93.640

Nineteen awards hold $4.60 billion

USAspending.gov records $4,601,794,212 in obligations under CFDA 93.640. Nineteen awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $242 million per award — among the largest per-award ratios in this batch, consistent with a handful of state-level assistance actions. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical premium or enrollee amount.

The assistance-listing title is BASIC HEALTH PROGRAM (AFFORDABLE CARE ACT). CFDA 93.640 is the identifier. Other health-coverage listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $4.60 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $4,601,794,212 obligation stock for CFDA 93.640 together with 19 awards, 0 recipients in this extract, and 4 states. Keep the Basic Health Program on 93.640 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

A zero on the recipient dimension, four states

The extract lists 0 recipients against 19 awards. That zero is a stored field on this aggregate, not a finding that no states received assistance. Some assistance files omit a populated recipient rollup even while award rows and dollars are large. Do not cite 0 as “no one was paid.” Cite it as the recipient count on this extract.

Four states in the geographic count is among the narrowest fields in this batch. Place-of-performance on 4 cells reports where 93.640 awards are labeled in this file. It does not flatten differences among those four. Dollar amounts by place are on the program table.

Award count is not an enrollee count

Among health listings, 93.640 is sparse: 19 rows against $4.60 billion. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of people covered.” With recipient count stored as 0, the organizational headcount is not available on this extract.

The packet does not report enrollment, premiums, or plan inventories. Citing 19 as enrollees or plans would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, the stored recipient field, states.

Obligations versus coverage cash

The $4.60 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Basic Health Program awards — are not in the packet. A recorded obligation can sit on a different calendar from coverage payments. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.640 tables omit

The Basic Health Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an enrollee roster, not a plan directory, and not a premium file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $4,601,794,212.

The stored recipient count of 0 means this aggregate does not publish an organizational headcount. Place-of-performance on 4 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those four cells as equal shares.
