No ... Medicaid is NOT Affordable Care Act insurance.  It is, most often, a state run program where ACA is federal.  Proof of this is that Medicaid plans do not send out the 1095-A for proof of insurance and premiums paid, ACA plans are required to provide this form to their insureds.

No.

 

Is Medicaid the same as the Affordable Care Act?

Medicaid is designed to offer either free, or low cost health care coverage to those in need. While the ACA is done through the federal government, Medicaid is handled by the state, meaning the laws and regulations depend on your location.
