Fragmented Democracy: Medicaid, Federalism, and Unequal Politics by Jamila Miche

Description: Fragmented Democracy by Jamila Michener Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book is about how Medicaid intersects with federalism and how it affects the lives of the people who use it and shapes their democratic citizenship. The primary audience is academics and informed members of the public interested in American politics, public policy, healthcare, inequality, contextual effects, and democracy. Publisher Description Medicaid is the single largest public health insurer in the United States, covering upwards of 70 million Americans. Crucially, Medicaid is also an intergovernmental program that yokes poverty to federalism: the federal government determines its broad contours, while states have tremendous discretion over how Medicaid is designed and implemented. Where some locales are generous and open handed, others are tight-fisted and punitive. In Fragmented Democracy, Jamila Michener demonstrates the consequences of such disparities for democratic citizenship. Unpacking how federalism transforms Medicaid beneficiaries interpretations of government and structures their participation in politics, the book examines American democracy from the vantage point(s) of those who are living in or near poverty, (disproportionately) Black or Latino, and reliant on a federated government for vital resources.
