Medicaid

Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program in the United States designed to provide free or low-cost healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families. It is jointly funded by the federal and state governments but administered at the state level, meaning eligibility requirements and covered services can vary by state. Medicaid typically covers a wide range of medical services, including doctor visits, hospital care, long-term care, prescription medications, and preventive services. It is especially vital for vulnerable populations, such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
