Most Pennsylvanians receiving Medicaid are doing so because of circumstances beyond their control. A majority are our youngest and oldest citizens. In fact:

• Almost 46% of Pennsylvania Medicaid recipients are under age 18
• Just under 10% are age 65 or older
• More than 17% are disabled citizens

These are our neighbors in all 67 counties, not just the big cities. Consider:

• Two-thirds of Pennsylvania Medicaid recipients live outside of Philadelphia and Allegheny counties
• More than 27% live in rural counties

Medicaid managed care plans provide health care to approximately 1.2 million of the 2.1 million state citizens receiving Medicaid. To learn the human impact of the Medicaid safety net where you live, scroll over your county.
