Understanding Medicaid: A Conversation with Chiquita Brooks-LaSure

Exploring the Impact of Medicaid on Families and Children – What It Covers and How to Know If You Qualify

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, the former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to discuss the vital role Medicaid plays in supporting families and children. In our conversation, we explore the services Medicaid covers, from maternal and infant health to mental health services for children and those with developmental disabilities.

Like many, I was surprised by what Medicaid actually covers and how it supports families, especially in the early stages of life. Chiquita also shares practical advice on how families can find out if they qualify for Medicaid, encouraging everyone to visit healthcare.gov for more information.
