Medicaid is a government program in the United States that provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families, funded jointly by federal and state governments. It was created as part of the Social Security Amendments of 1965, and its purpose is to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to necessary medical services without the burden of high costs. Medicaid plays a significant role in the broader landscape of public health initiatives, particularly those aimed at combating poverty and improving healthcare access for underserved communities.
