50 years ago, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law, giving millions access to quality healthcare nationwide.
Perhaps no medical specialty has been more affected by this initiative than emergency care providers. Your work to give the best possible care to all Americans has sustained communities for decades.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are marking this anniversary with a look back at how Medicare and Medicaid have made an impact in the past 50 years. They are also looking for personal stories of how these programs have made a difference.

According to their website, “This summer, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will mark the anniversary of these programs by recognizing the ways in which these programs have transformed the nation’s health care system over the past 5 decades. We’ll also look to the future and explore ways to keep Medicare and Medicaid strong for the next 50 years, by building a smarter and healthier system so that these programs will continue as the standard bearers for coverage, quality and innovation in American health care.”
