Children and Young People
Medicaid plays a crucial role in providing health care to children, covering about 40 percent of all children nationwide. The program serves disproportionately large shares of low-income children and children with special health care needs. Medicaid’s comprehensive benefits are designed to address children’s complex needs throughout all developmental stages, ensuring they receive appropriate preventive care, treatment for illnesses, and management of chronic conditions.
