Normally we think of the recipients of Medicaid - people who "qualify" for it by being low-income. This would include families with dependent children, people with disabilities and the elderly. But they don't get paid anything from Medicaid.
The biggest beneficiaries no doubt are the medical providers such as hospitals, who get paid. Hospitalizations are very expensive, and the hospitals are required by law to accept and treat everyone who shows up. The hospitals would not be able to continue to serve the poor without Government support such as Medicaid.
