Medicaid and Diabetes
Medicaid is a government run health insurance program for poor and disabled people. According to the American Diabetes Association 3.5 million people with diabetes use Medicaid for all or some of their medical care. Ongoing and preventive health care is particularly important for people with diabetes to avoid many costly medical complications. Many suggested changes to Medicaid may affect the level of care received by Medicaid recipients.
