Definition of Medicaid



Medicaid is a United States health care program run by both Federal and state to help poor and low-income groups with medical care. It is the largest governmental level medical care program in the United States of America that provides millions of deserving people with less financial resources to pay for their health-related expenses.

 


It is like a government health care insurance plan that enrolls lower-income recipients from states. The plans are managed privately and the premium is paid by the state on behalf of the deserving recipients. In the event of need, the plan covers the necessary costs.
