Medicaid health insurance
Get low cost or free health insurance
Medicaid provides health insurance for individuals and families who can’t afford it. Many plans are premium-free and run at very low cost to users. It includes hospital & doctor visits, long-term and nursing home care, prescription drugs, and — in some states — vision, dental, and hearing.
You can apply for Medicaid at any time, and as many times as you want per year. You can also be on both Medicaid and Medicare at the same time. Each state runs its own Medicaid program, so don’t be surprised if your state’s program has a totally unique name.
