Georgia Navigator Practice Exam

Which group is typically not included in Medicaid coverage?

1. Pregnant women

2. Individuals with high incomes

3. Disabled adults

4. Low-income parents

The correct answer is: Individuals with high incomes

The correct answer is individuals with high incomes. Medicaid is designed to provide health coverage primarily to those with limited financial resources, including low-income individuals, families, pregnant women, and certain populations such as children and individuals with disabilities. Individuals with high incomes usually do not qualify for Medicaid because their financial status exceeds the eligibility criteria set by the program. Medicaid programs often have strict income limits, which means that higher-income individuals would typically look to other forms of insurance, such as private insurance or employer-sponsored health plans, rather than relying on Medicaid for healthcare coverage. This distinction is essential for understanding how Medicaid serves those most in need, which is a key aspect of the program's intention to provide support for vulnerable populations.
