Think Medicaid Doesn’t Affect You? Think Again.

You might not be enrolled in Medicaid—but chances are, Medicaid is helping someone you love, a place you rely on, or your own budget without you even realizing it.

Here’s how:

• School Health Services: Many school nurses and student support programs are partially funded by Medicaid.

• Elder Care: Medicaid is the largest payer for nursing home care in America.

• Disability & Independence: Medicaid helps people with disabilities live, work, and thrive in their communities.

• Hospital Access: Medicaid reimbursements keep many local hospitals and emergency rooms open—especially in rural or lower-income areas.

• Insurance Cost Control: Medicaid helps absorb medical costs for millions, preventing that burden from being passed to private insurance plans.

Bottom Line:

Medicaid isn’t just a line in a budget.

It’s a safety net that touches every part of your life—even if you’ve never applied for it.

Protecting Medicaid is protecting people, communities, and futures.
