Federal and State Medicaid spending in billions of 2010 dollars by 2009. It's down here, the year. So 1993, 2009, going out to 2081. And so here is about $400 billion. This is combined Federal and State spending. By 2017, this rises to $750 billion. By 2025--obviously within our lifetime--that will rise close to $1 trillion. And projections are by 2081, it will be over $4.5 trillion.
