Medicaid

Insurance program that provides free or low-cost health coverage to qualified individuals and families with low incomes, including children, pregnant women, older people, and people with disabilities. Many states have expanded their Medicaid programs to cover all people below certain income levels. Whether you qualify for Medicaid coverage depends partly on whether your state has expanded its program. Medicaid benefits and program names vary somewhat between states.
