Medicaid 

To ensure Medicaid is able to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare for the nation’s most vulnerable populations, including many with MS.

Medicaid provides comprehensive health coverage to nearly 9 million non-elderly people with disabilities, and to 10 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries who rely on Medicaid to fill Medicare’s gaps, including many people living with MS. MS is one of the most expensive chronic diseases to manage and many living with the disease are forced to stop working; Medicaid is a true safety net program.

While Medicaid varies from state to state, expansion of the program means coverage for millions of previously uninsured low-income adults. Advocacy work continues in states that have already expanded Medicaid, as well as in those who have not yet opted for Medicaid Expansion.

Provide quality, comprehensive healthcare to more people living with disabilities.
