All means tested, some temporary in nature. For example, TANF has a maximum defined benefit of 60 months unless a state has a hardship exclusion.

It's really easy to mathematically convert Medicaid into some rough dollar amount, but it's not as easy if it's pointed out that in some states there is a dental benefit and in some states there is isn't. For example, California has a dental plan that includes cleanings. Other states will only pay for dental extractions or perhaps dentures. Variation of Federal programs between states can and should influence this conversation.
