Impact of Financial Programs
Medicaid could help my friend who is unable to afford health care. This program has a history of "... help[ing] low-income families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities make ends meet and obtain health care" (10 Income Sources). Because Medicaid is known to aid people who struggle financially, this program would be perfect for my friend since she doesn't earn enough to pay for these services. Medicaid would give her the ability to focus her finances on other necessities. -
