According to the state’s accounting system, the Catastrophic Health Care Fund has a total of $9,384,800 that is available to the program for the current fiscal year. As of December 17, 2003, the program has already expended $6,522,100 leaving a positive balance of $2,862,700 for the remainder of the year. By comparison, expenditures totaled $13.9 in fiscal year 2002 and $13.7 in 2003. In addition to the CAT Fund, there is another $400,000 available from the Millennium Fund for general program purposes.
