Government Medical Programs & The Uninsured: Turning complexity into opportunity.
Medicaid, Medicare and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) cover over 100 million low-income, elderly and disabled people at a cost of over a trillion dollars a year. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has led to significant increases in both public and private insurance coverage. And yet, 32 million people are still uninsured.
