1332 State Innovation Waivers federal obligations in Colorado

One prime award carries Colorado’s 1332 cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 93.423 meets Colorado place of performance. The dollar book is $1,494,688,202. The award count is 1. Section 1332 waiver pass-through funding typically posts as a large award to the state for reinsurance or related waiver operations. One prime record does not mean one insurer received the money, and it does not mean one county’s claims experience drove the total.

The join does not prove that Colorado’s individual-market premiums, uninsured rate, or a particular waiver design caused $1,494,688,202. Those are other series. This packet has no issuer list. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Colorado’s full HHS obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Medicaid and marketplace subsidy lines are different catalog numbers. The 1 figure is a record count, not a count of covered lives.

The implied mean equals the cell

One award under $1,494,688,202 implies a mean of $1,494,688,202. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Downstream payments to issuers under a reinsurance program are not additional prime awards in this extract.

Cite the single-award structure so a reader does not look for hundreds of 1332 contracts that were never the filing pattern. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the total as a typical issuer settlement.

Colorado’s 93.423 cell versus the statewide stack

Colorado’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. 1332 State Innovation Waivers is one HHS line. $1,494,688,202 is not Colorado’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 93.423 page includes every participating state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on a state waiver award usually sits on Colorado even when issuers operate statewide. This packet does not reallocate dollars to counties. Read the overlay as a coding view of 1 award.

Obligations versus reinsurance payments

The $1,494,688,202 figure is an obligation sum. Pass-through payments to issuers can trail the federal obligation. SpendingVault does not publish a 93.423-in-Colorado outlay total in this packet. Mixing premium or uninsured-rate statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 93.423 × Colorado, $1,494,688,202, 1 award, obligations only.

Parent hubs

The Colorado × 1332 State Innovation Waivers overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,494,688,202 on 1 award. The Colorado spending page and the CFDA 93.423 program page are the parents. The Colorado programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into covered lives or into outlays this packet omits.

What Colorado’s 1332 join is not

1332 State Innovation Waivers in Colorado are not a ranking of counties by uninsured rate and not a count of marketplace plans. The $1,494,688,202 figure is the CFDA 93.423 × Colorado cell. One award describes the federal pass-through to the state, not one insurer. Reinsurance settlements to issuers are downstream of this prime row and are not listed here.

Medicaid and marketplace subsidy lines are different catalog numbers. A reader who treats 93.423 as Colorado’s full health-coverage book has left the join. Cite 1332 waivers and Colorado together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 1-award count. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count. The overlay is the live table.

Colorado’s 1332 cell also does not include issuer reinsurance settlements, uninsured-rate tables, or covered-life counts. Those series live with HHS and the state. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 93.423 × Colorado, $1,494,688,202, 1 award. With one row, the implied mean equals the total. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a marketplace-premium story.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: 1332 State Innovation Waivers and Colorado, obligations only, one award on $1,494,688,202.
