"Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) play a substantial role in the Kansas health care system by providing health and long-term care coverage to the state's most vulnerable populations. In 2013, the state significantly changed the way Medicaid and CHIP services are administered and delivered in Kansas through a new initiative called KanCare.

Medicaid is a partnership between the state and federal government that has a significant impact on the Kansas economy. In fiscal year (FY) 2006, the federal government spent nearly $304 billion dollars on the program nationally. The federal government contributes approximately $1.502 for every dollar of state Medicaid spending in Kansas. The rate of this match varies from state to state -- and is generally higher in poorer states. In Kansas, Medicaid accounts for 14.8 percent of the state budget (State General Fund only) and represents a significant portion of total spending on health care services. The only program for which the state spends more money is K-12 education.

Medicaid is a state/federal partnership that has a significant impact on Kansas' economy, in part because Medicaid draws federal matching funds to the state. Nationally in 2004, the federal government paid for 57 percent of the $305 billion in total Medicaid expenditures. The federal government contributes approximately $1.50 for every dollar of state Medicaid spending in Kansas, a 60 percent matching rate. The matching rate varies from state to state, ranging in 2005 from $1 for every dollar of state Medicaid spending in wealthier states, such as Colorado, to $3.16 in poorer states, such as Mississippi. In Kansas, Medicaid accounts for 18.1 percent of the all-funds state budget and represents a significant portion of total spending on health care services.
