Medicaid
Medicaid is a government-sponsored health insurance program in the United States that provides free or low-cost medical coverage to low-income individuals, families, and certain vulnerable groups like children and the disabled. In today's context, it's a critical safety net that adapts to economic changes, such as expansions under the Affordable Care Act, helping to bridge gaps in healthcare access and reduce disparities in health outcomes.

Surprisingly, Medicaid now covers over 80 million Americans, making it the single largest health coverage program in the U.S., and it often pays for more than half of all births in the country each year. This extensive reach has helped lower infant mortality rates in participating states by providing prenatal care to millions of low-income mothers.
