Access for All.

On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Act, also known as the Social Security Amendments of 1965, into law. It established Medicare (Title 18), a health insurance program for the elderly, and Medicaid (Title 19), a health insurance program for people with limited income. Over the years, Congress has made changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, increasing eligibility.

From the beginning, these two programs were designed as funding programs, not patient-centered healthcare programs. Access to these programs can be difficult, confusing, and frustrating. Why? The chronically-ill who need both benefits lack the ability, support system, and resources to properly navigate these programs. They live with complex medical conditions, socioeconomic vulnerabilities, health inequities, housing insecurities, lack of transportation, malnourishment, and very few resources to do anything about their situation. They stay in their homes with unmanaged chronic conditions until the situation becomes acute and urgent.

They need medical, social, and behavioral intervention through a healthcare-at-home model … CareRing Health.
