Low-cost healthcare coverage for eligible persons.
Persons must fit into an eligibility category to receive Medicaid, even if their income is low. Childless couples and single childless adults who are not disabled or elderly are not eligible for Medicaid.
Medicaid is for persons with limited income and resources. Accordingly, it is inconceivable that Rep. Frank would be eligible for this program.
Medicaid started because of the large number of indigent persons who were unable to pay for necessary medical care.
The largest recipients of Medicare are people over 65 years old. The largest recipients of Medicaid in terms of dollars spent are indigent nursing home residents and disabled persons. The largest recipients of Medicaid in terms of population are persons under age 18.
Medicaid recipients must document citizenship/legal residence in US. Medicare recipients must have 40 calendar quarters of work covered by Medicare. In other words, undocumented aliens are not eligible, although there are surely cases of such persons receiving benefits fraudulently.
When a personal exceeds the needs or desires of another persons interests for well there well being or care.
There is no premium for Medicaid, altho you might have copays.

The current (2009) premium for Part B is $96.40.
