While Medicaid enrollment is inherently income-based, enrollment is conditioned by policy and political context differentially across social groups. Low-income, racial minority individuals are disproportionally represented in the population covered by Medicaid, yet they are also the most likely to benefit-via enrollment and health-from more equal state-level Medicaid implementation. Policymakers must counteract racialized politics by dismantling provisions that burden marginalized groups in seeking health care via Medicaid to promote greater health equity in late life
