Medicaid

Medicaid is a jointly funded federal-state-local program designed to make health care more available to the poor. Eligibility requirements for Medicaid and program benefits vary even though the federal government requires that people receiving Supplementary Security Income (SSI) and families qualifying for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) as well as pregnant women, children under 6, Medicare enrollees, and recipients of foster care and adoption assistance who do not quality for SSI or AFDC cash benefits be covered by the program.
