If the federal match expenditure is also counted, the program, on average, takes up 22% of each states budget. Some 43 million Americans were enrolled in 2004 (19.7 million of them children) at a total cost of $295 billion.

Federal Medicaid outlays were estimated to be $204 billion in 2008.  In 2011, there were 7.6 million hospital stays billed to Medicaid, representing 15.6 percent (approximately $60.2 billion) of total aggregate inpatient hospital costs in the United States.
