The Medicaid program is together subsidized by the government and states. The central government pays states for a predefined level of program uses, called the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP). States must guarantee they can subsidize a lot of Medicaid uses for the consideration and administrations accessible under their state plan.
