Administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). They fund Medicare wholly and they partially fund Medicaid and CHIP with the state usually kicking in about 50%. In poorer states, the feds kick in more. States may also have their own eligibility and coverage rules for Medicaid and CHIP Medicare charges premiums for the medical insurance component (around $96/month)and may charge for the hospital insurance component if the recipient has less than 10 years of work experience in which the recipient paid into the system through payroll taxes (between $200 - 400 per month). In addition, there are co-payments and limits to how much Medicare will pay just like many private insurers.
