For the patients, the disadvantages of Medicaid include that one must be virtually indigent to qualify, limited coverage for some procedures such as orthodontia, and the difficulty of finding providers who accept Medicaid payment.
In my view: persons between ages 18 & 64 with limited resources are often ineligible for "non-financial" reasons (this will change by 2014 under health insurance reform); low reimbursement rates leading to limited availability of providers, especially in rural areas.
