Medicaid

Medicaid covers essential, lifesaving health care for millions of low-income individuals, children, seniors, and people with disabilities. The program improves health outcomes, reduces financial hardship, and strengthens the overall health care system. The Center for American Progress has been a steadfast advocate for protecting and expanding Medicaid, supporting policies that enhance its reach and ensure equitable access to care for all who rely on it.
