Federal definition of medicaid

Medicaid provides medical care to persons with little or no income and assets who are either disabled, over age 65, under age 18, or caring for children under age 18. Health insurance reform legislation will extend coverage to all persons of limited means by 2014. It is administered by the states subject to Federal regulation, and funded jointly by the States and Federal government.
