Medicaid was established under Title XIX of the <strong>Social</strong> Security Act in 1965. It established a federal–state<br />

matching entitlement program that provides medical assistance for certain individuals <strong>and</strong> families<br />

with low incomes <strong>and</strong> resources. The program is a jointly funded, cooperative venture between the<br />

federal <strong>and</strong> state governments. Each state establishes its own eligibility st<strong>and</strong>ards, range of services,<br />

ratesofpayment, <strong>and</strong> administration. Consequently, the Medicaid programs vary considerably across<br />

states <strong>and</strong> within states over time. The preceding categories give a general indication of the types of<br />

people eligible for Medicare – individuals who qualify for Supplemental Security Income, Aid to Families<br />

with Dependent Children (now Temporary <strong>Assistance</strong> for Needy Families), children younger than 6 <strong>and</strong><br />

pregnant women whose family incomes are near the poverty line, some Medicare participants, <strong>and</strong> a<br />

series of other needy individuals.<br />

More detail on the program can be found in <strong>Social</strong> Security Bulletin, Annual Statistical Supplement (1997),<br />

pp. 108–13, or at the Internet site for the Health-Care Financing Administration.<br />

Figures are the unduplicated number of recipients <strong>and</strong> total vendor payments. Beginning in fiscal<br />

year 1980, recipients’ categories do not add to unduplicated total because of the small number of<br />

recipients that are in more than one category during the year.
