Medicaid is a Federal government health insurance program established under Title XIX of the Social Security program in 1965. It is administered and largely funded by the individual states. It's original and primary purpose is to provide health insurance to low income persons. Though, as is the case with virtually all government entitlement programs it has been expanded in various ways over the years so now there are provisions for coverage in certain circumstances for pregnant women and even illegal aliens among other provisions.
Whether or not your family is eligible for Medicaid will be subject to several different criteria such as your employment, how much annual income you make, and how many dependents you have along with some other requirements.
