Medicaid is?

Medicaid is?

• A. Federally funded medical assistance for those who qualify
• B. State funded medical assistance for those who qualify
• C. Private insurance for high-income individuals
• D. A charity program for all citizens

Answer: (B)

Medicaid is a medical assistance program for people who qualify based on income and other criteria, and it’s run by state governments under federal guidelines. The key point is that states administer the program and determine specific eligibility and benefits within federal rules, with federal funding contributing as matching funds. This combination makes it a state-administered program designed to help those who meet the qualifiers, rather than a private insurance plan or a universal charity.
