New York has one of the nation's more generous Medicaid programs -- it provided benefits to low-income adults even before the Affordable Care Act was passed -- and now covers roughly 6.4 million people (including Children's Health Insurance Program). That's about one-third of the state's population. It spent just under $60 billion a year on Medicaid in fiscal 2015, with just over half of that coming from the federal government.
