Medicaid is a federal and state government-assisted program that provides health coverage to millions of people living in the United States. Eligibility varies from state to state; however, it is typically available to the elderly, children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and low-income households. You can speak to the Medicaid representative in your city to see if qualify for the program and what type of coverage is available to you based on your income and assets. Medicaid is designed to support individuals who have limited resources and/or extensive medical needs. In most cases, there are no premiums or deductibles which makes getting primary, emergency, and long-term medical assistance a more affordable endeavor. However, some states do have share-of-cost requirements that require you to pay for your service based on your current amount of income.
