Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families. Eligibility is generally based on income, age, disability, or pregnancy. Medicaid offers comprehensive health coverage, including doctor visits, hospital stays, mental health services, and long-term care.

Key Benefits of Medicaid:

1. Comprehensive Coverage: Medicaid covers a wide range of health services, including hospitalization, doctor visits, prescription medications, mental health services, and preventative care.
2. Eligibility for Low-Income Individuals: Medicaid is designed for individuals and families with limited financial resources, including those who are homeless, disabled, or elderly.
3. Long-Term Care: Medicaid can help cover the costs of long-term care services, such as nursing home care or in-home care for those who are elderly or have a chronic illness.
4. State-Specific Programs: Medicaid offers different benefits in each state, which means that states like California may provide additional services, such as dental care, vision care, and transportation assistance.
