| Observations | ||||||||||
| SSI recipients would spend as much as 3.3% of benefits each month and only "cap out" in the last month of the year | ||||||||||
| For K-TAP recipients the equivalent figure is 7.6% of income | ||||||||||
| SSI recipients would spend as much as 5.8% of income on Rx alone for 6 months before capping out | ||||||||||
| For K-TAP recipients the equivalent figure is 13.4% of income | ||||||||||
| If a median income consumer were charged the same % of income as the SSI 6-month cap out the total would be at least $166 a month | ||||||||||
| If a median income consumer were charged the same % of income as the K-TAP 6-month cap out the total would be at least $383 a month | ||||||||||
| Rx copayments are a much higher percentage of income for K-TAP parents than for SSI recipients | ||||||||||
