title: Keeping Medicaid viable. Interview by Terese Hudson Thrall.
abstract: As the Medicaid program enters its fourth decade, it remains a safety net for Americans in need and for the nation itself, says Barbara Lyons, deputy director of the Kaiser Family Foundation's Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured. In a question-and-answer interview, Lyons discusses whether it can stay that way--and why it must.
