Medicaid provides coverage for whom?

Medicaid provides coverage for whom?

• A. Low income individuals and families
• B. High-income individuals
• C. Only elderly
• D. Only children

Answer: (A)

Medicaid is a means-tested health coverage program funded by both federal and state governments that helps people with limited income pay for medical care. It is designed for low-income individuals and families, providing access to essential services such as hospital and physician care, preventive services, and often long-term care. Eligibility varies by state, but the common thread is income-based access, including many adults, children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and some elderly. It is not intended for high-income individuals, and while children and the elderly are key groups, the program serves more than just those two groups.
