Federal Medicaid Program

The Federal Medicaid Program is a joint effort between the U.S. federal government and individual states that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. It helps cover medical expenses like doctor visits, hospital care, and medications. The federal government sets broad guidelines and provides funding, but each state manages and customizes its own Medicaid program based on these rules. The aim is to ensure vulnerable populations have access to necessary healthcare services, reducing financial barriers and promoting public health.
