This toolkit is about advocating for Medicaid. Medicaid is a health care program in the United States. Medicaid helps people pay for health care. Every state has a Medicaid program.

States cannot make certain kinds of changes to their Medicaid programs unless the federal government says the changes are okay. A 1115 waiver is a way for a state government to ask the federal government for these changes.

This toolkit will teach you:

• what 1115 waivers are
• why 1115 waivers are important

This toolkit is for anyone who wants to make Medicaid programs better in their state, like:
