In the three states we visited, average per capita costs and average
increases in per capita costs varied according to eacht state's waiver
program strategy and other factors (see table 4). Florida per capita waiver
costS, for example, were among the lowest in the nation, in part, as a result
of the state's strategy to expand services to more persons. According to
state officials, limited resources were stretched to cover as many people
as possible by providing each individual with the level of services required
to prevent institutionalization rather than providing all the services from
which an individual might benefit
