On health care, the feds are upping their share of Medicaid costs by 6.2 percentage points. So states with more generous Medicaid programs -- or where health care is generally expensive -- get more funding. The stimulus package also includes $20 billion for increasing food-stamp benefits for every person in the program. That means states where poverty rates are the highest wind up with larger shares of money.
Of course, all of this could change if some states follow through on their governors' intentions to reject some of the federal cash.
Utah, where the median age is 28, gets more than West Virginia, where the median age is 40.
