Happy 59th birthday to Medicaid, a critical healthcare safety net program established in 1965 as a fundamental pillar of the Social Security Act to ensure medical insurance to many of our nation’s poor and vulnerable. We believe that Medicaid has been an essential program for 88 million Americans, over 40 million of whom are children, on their journeys to successfully accessing high quality healthcare. Medicaid is a testament to our country’s commitment to ensuring care for all, especially low-income individuals and families, pregnant and birthing people, the elderly, and disabled individuals. We are grateful for 59 years of Medicaid protecting the health and well-being of millions of American families, and we can’t wait to celebrate it, and expanded coverage for all, every year!
