For context, $6,872 in healthcare benefits is 13% of average annual per-capita income for Americans. e When Medicaid was created in 1965 to provide health insurance to low- income Americans, 1 in 50 Americans received Medicaid, now 1 in 6 Americans receives Medicaid. e That said, Medicaid is an important benefit for recipients as it provides access to healthcare for low-income adults and their children. In recent years, Medicaid beneficiaries and benefit payments have risen faster than population and per-capita income growth owing to expanded coverage, economic difficulties and associated sluggish wage growth for low- and lower-middle-income families, and continued healthcare cost inflation.
