While Medicaid eligibility standards are partially uniform across states, there are variations in eligibility criteria and benefits offered. Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal government and states, with the federal government contributing a majority of the funding but not all of it. Not everyone in the poverty-level population is automatically eligible for Medicaid, as eligibility depends on several factors such as income, age, and disability status. However, almost three-fourths of total Medicaid spending is on long-term care services, including nursing home and home health care, particularly for the elderly. Therefore, option D is the most accurate statement.
