Review the articles from the Kaiser Family Foundation and the profile information from CMS on Medicaid and CHIP, provide an overview of the Medicaid program with information on the role Medicaid plays in our healthcare system from the information you learned related to cost, care, access, and quality. Is the Medicaid expansion good or bad thing for the states? Why some chose not to do it? Offer reasoning behind either position and evidence to support it. Reference APA format.
