Which program is administered by each state and jointly funded by state and federal funds?

Medicaid is a program that is specifically designed to provide health coverage to eligible low-income individuals and families. It is jointly funded by both state and federal governments, which enables states to offer a range of health services to vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with disabilities. Each state administers its own Medicaid program, which allows for some variation in benefits, eligibility criteria, and operational aspects according to state policies and needs. This state-federal partnership enhances the flexibility necessary for states to address the unique healthcare needs of their populations while also ensuring that federal standards are met to guarantee access and quality of care.

In contrast, Medicare is primarily a federal program for individuals aged 65 and older and certain younger people with disabilities, while CHAMPVA and TRICARE are programs for specific groups within the military community, involving federal administration and funding.
