Medicaid in the United States is a social health care program for families and individuals with limited resources.

The Health Insurance Association of America describes Medicaid as a "government insurance program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for health care".

Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with low income in the United States.

It is a means-tested program that is jointly funded by the state and federal governments and managed by the states, with each state currently having broad leeway to determine who is eligible for its implementation of the program.

States are not required to participate in the program, although all have since 1982.

Medicaid recipients must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, and may include low-income adults, their children, and people with certain disabilities.

Poverty alone does not necessarily qualify someone for Medicaid.

The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is the name of the Medicaid program in the state of Arizona.

As with all Medicaid programs, it is a joint program between the state and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

It became the final such state Medicaid program to implemented under Title XIX (as all other states had previously created their own programs) when it began in October 1982 as a section 1115 demonstration project.

The program acronym AHCCCS is frequently pronounced like the word ".".

Independent agencies of the United States federal government are those agencies that exist outside of the federal executive departments (those headed by a Cabinet secretary) and the Executive Office of the President.

In a more narrow sense, the term may also be used to describe agencies that, while constitutionally part of the executive branch, are independent of presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited.
