Medicaid Primer - This primer provides an overview of the basic components of Medicaid. The primer examines how the program is structured, who it covers, what services it provides and how much it costs. It also provides an overview of how Medicaid will change and significantly expand as it plays a key role in the new health reform law, serving as the mechanism to provide coverage to millions of previously uninsured low-income adults and children. Also available is an updated two-page fact sheet about the Medicaid program.
