State government Medicaid programs provide medical insurance to poor and disabled people. Under federal law, the programs must provide reimbursements to people who use any prescription drug that has been approved as effective by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration $(\mathrm{FDA})$ .

[because] coverage is paid for, in part, out of state budgets, which have to be balanced every year."
