33 Figure 32 Medicaid in Perspective Medicaid is the primary health coverage program for low-income Americans with significant health needs. Medicaid increases access to care and limits financial burdens for its 63 million beneficiaries. Medicaid is a critical source of financing for our health care system and safety net facilities. Medicaid spending is concentrated among a small number of beneficiaries with complex health needs. Medicaid cost growth needs to be managed with delivery and payment system reforms to improve care coordination and quality.
