Medicaid was established by the Social Security Amendments of 1965, which created a federal-state program for health coverage for low-income individuals. While it was implemented nationwide, Texas was the first state to approve its Medicaid plan on January 1, 1966. Medicaid programs vary by state, but they all share the goal of providing healthcare assistance to eligible populations.
