		In addition, administrative costs for Medicaid (at 6.9 percent of total costs) are about half as large as administrative costs under private health insurance (which average 13.6 percent of costs), according to estimates by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
		It is important to remember, however, that Medicaid has proven to be a highly effective mechanism for providing health care coverage to low-income families and individuals and that, contrary to the impression of some policymakers, Medicaid tends to cost less than private insurance.
