Medicaid is a federal-state partnership that supports people with disabilities throughout their lifetimes. It often has different names in different states. Medicaid helps people with disabilities to get the care they need to protect their health and well-being and to live with dignity. It is more than just a nationwide health care program; it also covers things such as help with personal tasks like feeding, bathing, and dressing. Medicaid provides supports to adults with disabilities such as job coaching and personal supports that people with disabilities need to work. It provides funding for services in schools for students with disabilities.
