The number of people that receive Medicaid varies widely. One of the biggest indicator of how many people receive Medicaid is the economy - is the unemployment rate high? If so, there will be an increase in the number of people receiving Medicaid. This is a program designed to help low-income families that do not otherwise have access to healthcare. A person usually needs to have some other "indicator" as well. You cannot simply have Medicaid just because you are "low-income." You have to have minor children in your home, be pregnant, or have a disability (and found to be disabled through SSA, which takes a long, long time!) Anyway, people need to really educate themselves on this program before they come to any conclusions. Thanks!

Do government programs cover long term care?
Medicare only covers up to 100 days If they see improvement of the health. Doctors pen. Medicaid has a spend down limit. Yes, Medicare covers people over 65, and some people with disabilities. And Medicaid covers some poor people. But Medicare only pays a small percentage of the cost of quality nursing home care. Medicaid can cover about half. Also, many economists are convinced that the current Medicare and Medicaid are unsustainable as the U.S. population ages. Benefits will have to be cut even further in the future. Medicare will only cover up to 100 days of "recovery" care. That means that a person must be showing continuous signs of improvement. If an individual has cognitive ( mental ) impairment, such as Alzheimer's, or needs continuous help with activities of daily living ( ADL's ) , such as eating, bathing, toileting, mobility, dressing or continence, then Medicare does not , and will not, cover the cost of long term care. Medicaid will cover the costs, but only after a person has spent down their assets to the poverty level of their state.
