Free Healthcare? You're Qualified for Medicaid or CHIP!

Did you know that over 15 million Americans lost Medicaid coverage in the past year due to eligibility reviews and policy shifts? And with new work requirements being pushed in several states, millions more could be at risk (CNBC).

At the same time, lawmakers are debating whether Medicaid spending should be cut to help reduce the $20 trillion national debt (Fox News). These discussions could mean tighter restrictions, fewer benefits, or even a loss of coverage for some Americans.

So, what does this mean for you and your family? Medicaid and CHIP are still lifelines for millions, covering more than 90 million Americans—but policy changes might affect who qualifies and how easy it is to apply. 

Now is the time to check your eligibility and secure your access to free healthcare before new rules kick in!

What Are Medicaid and CHIP? 

Healthcare is expensive, but guess what? Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) can give you free or low-cost coverage—and millions of people already benefit from it! Whether you're a low-income adult, a parent, pregnant, elderly, or have a disability, these programs are here to help. 

​ Medicaid: Covers low-income individuals and families, including seniors and people with disabilities. 

 CHIP: Helps families that make too much for Medicaid but still need affordable health insurance for their kids.

Who Qualifies for Medicaid and CHIP? 

Eligibility depends on your state, but here’s the general breakdown: 

Income-Based: In most states, adults qualify if they earn up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (about $20,000 per year for a single person). 

Kids & Pregnant Women: CHIP covers children in middle-income families, and pregnant women often get expanded Medicaid benefits. 

Seniors & People with Disabilities: If you receive SSI (Supplemental Security Income), you likely qualify for Medicaid.
