Plaintiff, the State of Texas, has stored by its various agencies in
the form of computer data and data tapes that is likely to bear on claims

III.
DAMAGES
[Article (1)(a)(iii)]
This suit is intended to recover damages suffered by the State of Texas
for the conduct set forth in the First Amended Complaint. The damages to
the State generally fall into the following categories:
A. Medicaid damages
B. Damages to the employee insurance and retirement system
C. Damages resulting from health care provided by State funded health
care providers that are not included in the Medicaid damages.
These initial computations are subject to continuing analysis and will
be revised or supplemented if and as necessary. Certain assumptions and
calculations are likely to change as additional information is accumulated.
Since past damages are increasing daily, these damages will continue to
increase.
Additionally, the damages pursuant to the antitrust laws, consumer protection
laws and RICO provide for the award of attorney’s fees and other costs.
A. Medicaid Damages.
Damages to the State of Texas begin with the inception of the Medicaid
program in Texas in September 1967. The Medicaid Act itself was established
by Title XIX of the Social Security Amendments Act of 1965.
Medicaid functions in two major ways: (1) as a kind of basic health
insurance program; and (2) as a funding source for service to the aged
and people with disabilities or with chronic long-term care needs.
Medicaid is financed jointly by the Federal government and the states.
Texas’ matching rate for federal fiscal year 1994 is 64.18%. That is, the
state must pay 35.82% of most Medicaid costs. Documents being provided
to the Defendants provide this ratio for each year that it is available.
Under Texas law, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC)
has acted as the single agency for the Medicaid program since January 1993.
Within HHSC, the Medicaid program is administered by the State Medicaid
Director, Linda Wertz.
The number of Texans covered by Medicaid may be stated in several ways.
One way is the "unduplicated count" which for the federal fiscal
year 1993 was 2,308,443. Another way to state the Medicaid case load is
the "monthly average" number of clients, which for federal fiscal
year 1993 was 1,917,479. Additionally, in federal fiscal year 1993 there
were about 358,000 "eligibles", which are persons enrolled in
Medicaid, but who never actually incurred any claims. Documents being produced
to the Defendants will provide this information for each available year.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has developed a computer model
for estimating health care costs attributable to smoking. The latest version
is called SAMMEC 2.1. The details of SAMMEC 2.1 are set forth in government
documents that are being provided to the Defendants in the initial disclosure
documents. Rather than repeating the details of the model in this document,
the Defendants are referred to the complete document that has been produced.
Recently the CDC has begun developing a different model for estimating
a smoking attributable fraction (SAF) that indicates the percentage of
direct health care expenditures due to smoking. This method was described
in the July 8, 1994 edition of CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report,
Volume 43, No. 26. A copy of this article has been produced to the Defendants.
The team of scientists gathered by CDC received funding from the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation in addition to the CDC.
Rather than attempting to interpret the work of these scientists, a
copy of their article is attached as Exhibit "A". The article
is entitled "State Estimates of Publicly Funded Direct Medical-Care
Expenditures Attributable to Cigarette Smoking, Results for Mississippi,
1980-1993."
The CDC team of experts has calculated damages to the State of Texas
for the years 1980-1993, see Exhibit "B". That total is $2,223,720,000.
The CDC team has put a present value on these past damages at $3,054,390,000.
When 1994, 1995, and 1996 damages are added, the total will likely exceed
$4 billion for past damages.
Future damages are believed to exceed $400 million per year. These yearly
damages are expected to increase at a rate that exceeds the discount rates.
Punitive damages will be determined by the jury.
The State has asked for the recovery of attorney’s fees and costs, which
will be calculated as the case progresses.
These damage figures will undoubtedly be revised and fine tuned before
the trial of this case. Plaintiff believes that the amounts disclosed are
extremely conservative and that these numbers will be revised upward.
B. Damages to the employee insurance and retirement system.
The State seeks damages for past and future State funds spent for tobacco
attributable health care costs incurred by the State in providing health-benefits
to its retirees, employees, and their dependents. All State employees are
provided health benefits by the State through the Employees Retirement
System of Texas, the University of Texas System, or the Texas A&M University
System. All three systems provide to their employees self funded health
care plans and insured health care plans. For the most recent year, the
cost incurred by the State in providing health care benefits through the
Employees Retirement System of Texas, the University of Texas System, and
the Texas A&M University System was approximately 1.2 billion, although
a portion of the number includes premiums paid by employees for dependents.
A significant amount of this number, is attributable to tobacco use. The
State seeks damages for many years in the past and future. The underlying
documents concerning this element of damages are being provided as part
of the disclosure. Additionally, Exhibit "B" addresses the computations
given as an example using the State of Mississippi.
C. Damages resulting from health care provided by State funded health
care providers that are not included in the Medicaid damages.
The State seeks damages for past and future State funds spent for tobacco
attributable medical costs incurred by certain State funded hospitals.
The principle State funded hospitals include, among others, the University
of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston, the University of Texas M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center, the University of Texas Health Science Center-Tyler, and
two hospitals operated by the Texas Department of Health: the South Texas
Hospital in Harlingen, Texas and the Center for Infectious Disease in San
Antonio, Texas. The amount of funds expended by the hospitals for unreimbursed
medical care is not known at the time of this disclosure. The State will
supplement its disclosure with this information when it is available. However,
a significant portion of the amount is attributable to tobacco related
medical care. The underlying documents concerning this element of damages
are being provided as part of the disclosure.
