Medicaid: A Primer
Provides an overview of the basic components of the nation's
largest health coverage program which covers 55 million
low-income individuals (including families, people with
disabilities and the elderly) and is the dominant source of the
country's long-term care financing. The primer examines the
structure of the program, who it covers, what services it
provides, and spending. Because Medicaid is jointly financed by
the federal and state governments and the states administer the

eligibility, enrollment, and spending for Medicaid enrollees
are included in the primer.
