Medicare and Medicaid, both enacted in 1965, represent approximately 40% of US health care expenditures.1 Medicare covers health care for people aged 65 years or older as well as those with significant disabilities, accounted for more than $800 billion in health care spending in 2020, and has historically had substantial public support.2 Medicaid, designed to provide health coverage for lower-income people, accounted for more than $600 billion in health care spending in 2020 and has faced ideological opposition from its inception.3 For example, Arizona waited until 1982, nearly 2 decades after enabling legislation, to offer Medicaid services to its lower-income residents. Medicaid, while run by individual states, does so in partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and over the last 2 decades has been responsible for a rapidly growing share of state budgets.
