From memory - the average total cost of one person on Medicaid is $5,500.

Was that the cost of claims paid out or the capitation cost per subscriber?

Total claims divided by total subscribers.

The last figures I remember were about 75 million subscribers and $410 billion in costs.

The totals usually take more than a year to come out, so that might be a 2011 number, I can’t recall.

Many people do not spend a full year on Medicaid, so, honestly, I do not recall how they figure total subscribers.
