Medicaid provides health care for which group?

• A. Health care for people under 65 and living in poverty
• B. Health care for people over 65
• C. Retirement benefits
• D. Government payments to help those living in poverty who are looking for a job

Answer: (A)

Medicaid is a health care program aimed at people with low income. It’s a joint federal‑state program designed to help those who cannot afford medical care, covering many individuals under 65 who live in poverty, including children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. While some people over 65 may also qualify for Medicaid, they are typically covered by Medicare, not Medicaid alone. The other options describe Medicare, retirement benefits, or welfare/unemployment-type payments, which are separate programs and not Medicaid.
