(1) The amount of state and federal funds available for this purpose;
(2) The most pressing medical needs of the aged not receiving old age pensions but without sufficient income and resources to meet the costs of necessary medical services; and
(3) The assurance that persons in similar circumstances will receive equitable treatment throughout the state.
