Objective:

Present key information about Medicaid programs across all states, including coverage, enrollment, spending, eligibility, and enrollee characteristics.

Approach:
  • State profiles: KFF fact sheets provide state and national data; users can select a state on the map or in a table to access its fact sheet.
  • Data sources: The profiles draw on KFF State Health Facts, ACS 2024 estimates, and other cited federal and KFF resources, with data years varying by measure.
Key Findings:
  • Medicaid and CHIP provide health and long-term care coverage to millions of adults and children with low incomes.
  • Enrollment and spending vary substantially across states, reflecting policy choices and differences in population demographics.
  • The fact sheets cover enrollment, spending by eligibility group and service, federal and state financing, coverage rates, eligibility thresholds, and enrollee characteristics.
Interpretation:

The resource describes state-level variation in Medicaid and CHIP coverage and spending and identifies the data sources used for its profiles.

Limitations:
  • The context does not provide specific state-level values or comparisons.
  • Measures refer to different years, including 2024, 2025, and 2026.
  • Some spending and enrollment totals exclude records classified as “Unknown”; rounding may prevent spending shares from totaling exactly 100%.
