Medicaid eligibility includes which groups?

• A. High-income individuals
• B. Low income families with dependent children, low income older adults, and disabled individuals
• C. Tourists
• D. Private-sector employees

Answer: (B)

Medicaid eligibility hinges on income and targeting vulnerable groups; the program is designed to provide health coverage for those with limited resources. The groups most commonly eligible are low-income families with dependent children, low-income older adults, and people with disabilities. That focus explains why this option is the best one: it reflects the populations Medicaid is meant to serve. High-income individuals, tourists, and most private-sector employees typically don’t qualify unless they meet specific low-income or other qualifying criteria, which are not the standard targets of Medicaid.
