Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program that provides coverage to low-income individuals and families. It is the largest source of health coverage in the United States, providing health insurance to over 70 million people.
Medicaid is important because it provides access to affordable health care for low-income individuals and families. Without Medicaid, many people would be unable to afford health insurance and would go without necessary medical care. Medicaid also provides important benefits to low-income individuals and families, such as coverage for doctor’s visits, hospital stays, and prescription drugs.
