<paragraph id="H6A137C054F844DA9A05432695F006CDE"><enum>(1)</enum><text display-inline="yes-display-inline">The Medicaid program provides essential
health care and long-term care services to approximately 60,000,000 low-income
children, pregnant women, parents, individuals with disabilities, and senior
citizens. It is a Federal guarantee that ensures the most vulnerable will have
access to needed medical services.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H0123EE98E3B140578F050811F777F275"><enum>(2)</enum><text>Medicaid provides
critical access to long-term care and other services for the elderly and
individuals living with disabilities, and is the single largest provider of
long-term care services. Medicaid also pays for personal care and other
supportive services that are typically not provided by private health insurance
or Medicare, but are necessary to enable individuals with spinal cord injuries,
developmental disabilities, neurological degenerative diseases, serious and
persistent mental illnesses, HIV/AIDS, and other chronic conditions to remain
in the community, to work, and to maintain independence.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="HC975DBD240ED4D2588E64BD821B73FC"><enum>(3)</enum><text>Medicaid
supplements the Medicare program for about 7,500,000 low-income elderly or
disabled Medicare beneficiaries, assisting them with their Medicare premiums
and co-insurance, wrap-around benefits, and the costs of nursing home care that
Medicare does not cover. The Medicaid program spends over $100,000,000,000 on
uncovered Medicare services.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H463F2B62E87346D29C296D80C60100F5"><enum>(4)</enum><text>Medicaid provides
health insurance for more than one-quarter of America's children and is the
largest purchaser of maternity care, paying for more than one-third of all the
births in the United States each year. Medicaid also provides critical access
to care for children with disabilities, covering more than 70 percent of poor
children with disabilities.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H48A251042A814365A52800B5DD4B7098"><enum>(5)</enum><text>More than
21,000,000 women depend on Medicaid for their health care. Women comprise the
majority of seniors (64 percent) on Medicaid. Half of nonelderly women with
permanent mental or physical disabilities have health coverage through
Medicaid. Medicaid provides treatment for low-income women diagnosed with
breast or cervical cancer in every State.</text>

Nation's largest source of payment for mental health services, HIV/AIDS care,
and care for children with special needs. Much of this care is either not
covered by private insurance or limited in scope or duration. Medicaid is also
a critical source of funding for health care for children in foster care and
for health services in schools.</text>

major role in ensuring that the number of Americans without health insurance,
approximately 47,000,000 in 2006, is not substantially higher. The system of
Federal matching for State Medicaid expenditures ensures that Federal funds
will grow as State spending increases in response to unmet needs, enabling
Medicaid to help buffer the drop in private coverage during recessions.</text>
