Advantages

Since Medicaid caters to individuals and families who belong in the low income bracket, these people are provided health care coverage when they otherwise would have none. Those who cannot afford health care would no longer need to go without basic and specialized health care.

Disadvantages

There are limitations as to the type of treatments covered by Medicaid. The program evaluates each treatment plan and may not cover a particular procedure that is deemed unnecessary or experimental, causing problems for the physician and ultimately affecting the health of a patient. Refusal of coverage of expenses for the procedure will leave the patient and his or her doctor with little to no choice.
