title: Medicaid: facing the facts.
abstract: The key to making Medicaid more sustainable is to make it less necessary: By addressing coverage for the uninsured. By having Medicare offer more comprehensive coverage and long-term care assistance to its low-income beneficiaries. By providing an alternative to Medicaid's spend-down to impoverishment to gain assistance with long-term care costs.
