What the document says

“in the case of a non-expansion State or unit of local government in such State and a class of health care items or services described in section 433.56(a) of title 42, Code of Federal Regulations”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 71115

The section adds a new subparagraph (D) to section 1903(w)(4) of the Social Security Act. For a non-expansion State the applicable percent is the percent of net patient revenue already found to be within the hold harmless threshold at enactment where such a tax exists, and zero where none does. For an expansion State it is the lower of that already determined percent and the declining schedule, and zero where no such tax exists. An expansion State is one that from January 1, 2014 or later chose to cover everyone described in section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII).

What the document actually says

“in the case of a non-expansion State or unit of local government in such State and a class of health care items or services described in section 433.56(a) of title 42, Code of Federal Regulations”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 71115
That sentence, in plain words

One rule covers a state that did not expand Medicaid. It turns on a class of care named in the rules.

What this is about

A state already taxing that class keeps its current figure. A state with no such tax is held at zero. Expansion states are treated apart.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
