What is Medicaid?

​MEDICAID IS A FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAM THAT COVERS MEDICAL COSTS FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE WITH LIMITED INCOME AND RESOURCES. MEDICAID PROVIDES ACCESS TO HEALTH COVERAGE FOR THE NATION'S MOST ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS, INCLUDING LOW-INCOME CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, LOW-INCOME SENIORS, AND LOW-INCOME PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. ​
