Medicaid covers approximately 36 million individuals including
children, the aged, blind, and/or disabled, and people who are eligible to
receive federally assisted income maintenance payments.
The program, known as Medicaid, became
law in 1965 as a jointly funded cooperative venture between the Federal and
State governments to assist States in the provision of adequate medical care to
eligible needy persons.
Medicaid is the largest program providing medical
and health-related services to America's poorest people. Within broad national
guidelines which the Federal government provides, each of the States:
- establishes its own eligibility standards;
- determines the type, amount, duration, and
scope of services;
- sets the rate of payment for services; and
- administers its own program.
Thus, the Medicaid program varies
considerably from State to State, as well as within each State over time.
