		<description><![CDATA[It is a fact that having good health is important for everyone. Whether you are rich or you are poor, having good health for both you and your family is very important. However, if you can't pay for your medical bills, how will you be able to ensure you and your family's health? Surely you can't stop illnesses from happening and you definitely cannot predict what's in store for you and your family in the future.

Because of this, more and more people are now enrolling in a state and federal government program called the Medicaid.

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, getting health insurance is considered to be one of the most important investments that you can ever make. Besides, with the constant rise of health care cost, you too would find it difficult to pay for your medical and hospitalization bills even if you have a decent household income. So, what more if you can't even afford to pay for the premiums of health insurances? What if you are one of the people out there who has a low household income level?

Because of this problem, both the state and federal government are now funding a health insurance program called Medicaid. This particular health insurance program that is funded by the state and federal government are designed for low income individuals or families, the disabled, children living with low income families, and also for the elderly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, it is important to understand that Medicaid is entirely different from Medicare. Although Medicaid and Medicare are both funded by the government and are both health insurance programs, Medicaid is not automatic like Medicare. In Medicare, you will become automatically eligible when you reach the age of 65 or you become disabled.

To put it in other words, Medicare concentrates more on giving the benefits to the elderly and to the disabled. Also, Medicare is funded by the federal government which gets its funds from the taxes you pay. It is very much like your Social Security where you have every right to enjoy because you are one of the millions of people who are funding it during your working life.]]></description>
