Medicaid accounted for 7 percent of all federal outlays in FY 2020, following spending for Social Security, Income Security, and Medicare (Figure 8). Medicaid accounts for a smaller share of federal spending than Medicare because Medicaid program costs are shared by the federal government and the states.
Also question is, how much did the federal government spend on Medicaid in 2020?
Total Medicaid managed care spending (including the federal and state share) in FFY 2020 across all 50 states and six territories was $359.6 billion, up from $313.5 billion in FFY 2019.
Likewise, which states spend the most on Medicaid? Here are the 10 states that spend the most on Medicaid:
- Massachusetts.
- Illinois.
- Ohio.
- Florida. Medicaid spending: $21.8 billion.
- Pennsylvania. Medicaid spending: $27.6 billion.
- Texas. Medicaid spending: $40.3 billion.

Additionally, is Medicaid fully funded by the federal government?
The Medicaid program is jointly funded by the federal government and states. The federal government pays states for a specified percentage of program expenditures, called the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP).
