There is no doubt that the enactment of Medicaid has resulted greater federal and state spending. However, the alternative would have been a much less healthy population in the U.S.

The states have no role to speak of in administering Medicare. As far as I know, that program has been able to fund itself, so far, through insurance payments from employers and employees.

What were the results of president Johnson's great society?

President Johnson's Great Society aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice in the United States through a series of ambitious social programs. It resulted in significant legislative achievements, including the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act.
