Answer:

The correct option is "D." Which is none of the above.

Even though States  and Federal Government finance the majority of Medicaid, the states are given significant discretion in running the program.

The federal government matches state spending on Medicaid and states are responsible for designing and administering the program.

Explanation:

The Medicaid is a US joint federal-state program that provides health coverage or nursing home coverage to certain categories of low income earners. It is jointly sponsored by both the states and the federal government at par. It is majorly operated at the state levels with the coverage and administration of the program varying significantly from state to state. It is available only to individuals and families who meet specific criteria based on their level of income. This lofty health Insurance program is only available to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or legal immigrants. Approximately, one in five Americans are covered by Medicaid.

The Basic Eligibility of the Health Insurance Program:

Medicaid coverage is broken down into four groups: adults under 65 years of age, seniors aged 65 years or older, children, and people with disabilities. Children account for the largest group, at 40% of enrollees, but at a smaller cost. People with disabilities account for 15% of enrollees with about 40% of total costs.
