Step-by-step explanation:
The extension of the Kerr-Mills program of federal matching funds to the states, based on each state's financial needs, became Medicaid. Congress created Medicaid in 1965 as a joint health insurance program between the states and the federal government.
It provides medical insurance for certain low-income people, including those below the poverty line, with a focus on families with children, the elderly, and the disabled. Each state administers the program and determines eligibility and benefits. Therefore, option (A) is correct.
