DC Medicaid (DC Healthy Families / Healthcare Alliance)
DC Medicaid provides health coverage including doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, mental health, and preventive services. DC expanded Medicaid for adults under the ACA in 2014, with one of the most generous adult-coverage thresholds in the country (up to 215% FPL for parents and childless adults, modeled here at the standard 138% baseline).
