G = Generic			PB = Preferred Brand Name			NPB = Non-Preferred Brand Name
Percentages are of monthly benefits or income
SSI/Med applies SSI percentage of income to median income
K-TAP/Med applies K-TAP percentage of income to median income
Observations
For a K-TAP recipient with ongoing Rx of 2 G and 1 PB, a single hospitalization would create total cost of 15.3% of monthly income
For an aged or disabled SSI recipient, the same circumstance would cost 6.6% of monthly income
For a median income Kentuckian, 15.3% of income is $437 and 6.6% of income is $190
What might be "nominal" costs for median income Kentuckians (ie, less than 2% of income) are much higher percentages for medicaid adults
The cost of the Rx and hospitalization is not much different from the cost of the Rx and non-emergency ER visit:  both are high
