Medicaid is funded by which entities?

Medicaid is funded by both the federal government and state governments. The federal government provides the majority of the funding through a matching mechanism (FMAP), with the exact share varying by state and program rules, while states contribute the remainder from their own revenues. States administer Medicaid within federal guidelines, and the combination of federal funds and state dollars supports covered services. Private insurers do not fund Medicaid; they may be involved in delivering or financing care within the program, but the foundational funding comes from federal and state sources.
