The Medicaid program is for the indigent families. It’s a program put together by the state and federal government. Being indigent does not necessarily qualify you for Medicaid. Medicaid is the biggest source of funding for medical health services for people with no or limited income. Having limited assets is one of the primary requirements for Medicaid eligibility.

There are many numbers of Medicaid categories; within each group there are requirements other than income that must be met. These other things include, but not limited to, assets, age, pregnancy, disability, blindness, income and resources, and one’s status as a U.S citizen.

The Medicaid program is monitored by the centers for Medicare and Medicaid (Komar, 2007).…
