Medicaid
Medicaid is a government program in the United States that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. It helps cover medical expenses such as hospital visits, doctor appointments, long-term care, and preventive services. Funded jointly by federal and state governments, Medicaid eligibility and benefits can vary by state. It aims to ensure that those who cannot afford healthcare still have access to necessary medical services, thereby supporting public health and reducing medical debt.
