Social Services

This comprehensive overview of community-funded health care services examines various programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. It highlights the benefits and drawbacks of each, including eligibility requirements, costs, and the range of services provided. Medicare focuses on geriatric care while Medicaid supports low-income individuals, including children through CHIP. The ACA promotes coverage for pre-existing conditions. The discussion raises critical questions about equity and accessibility in health care, especially concerning who qualifies for these essential services in Kansas and the broader United States.
