-[medicaid] in the [united states] is a [social health-care program] for [families/individuals] with [‘low income’ / ‘limited resources’]-
.
(the “Health Insurance Association of America” describes ‘Medicaid’ as a “government insurance program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for “health care”)
(‘Medicaid’ is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with ‘low income’ in the ‘United States’)
(it is a “means-tested program” that is jointly funded by the ‘state’ and ‘federal’ governments and managed by the states, with each ‘state’ currently having broad leeway to determine who is eligible for its implementation of the program)
(‘states’ are not required to participate in the program)
(although all currently do)
(‘medicaid recipients’ must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, and may include low-income adults, their children, and people with certain disabilities)
(‘poverty’ alone does not necessarily qualify someone for ‘Medicaid’)
(the ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’ significantly expanded both eligibility for and federal funding of ‘Medicaid’)
(under the law as written, all ‘US citizens’ and legal residents with income up to 133% of the ‘poverty line’, including adults without dependent children, would qualify for coverage in any state that participated in the ‘Medicaid’ program)
(however, the ‘United States Supreme Court’ ruled in “National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius” that states do not have to agree to this expansion in order to continue to receive previously established levels of ‘Medicaid’ funding, and many states have chosen to continue with ‘pre-ACA funding levels’ and ‘eligibility standards’)
