Medicaid Made Simple is a practical, nonpartisan guide that explains how Medicaid actually works behind the scenes. Drawing on nearly 30 years of firsthand experience, Thomas “Tommy” Stedham breaks down the rules, systems, challenges, and real-world tradeoffs that shape one of America’s most misunderstood public programs.

Written in clear, accessible language, the book explores topics including eligibility, documentation, long-term care, appeals, and the differences between Medicaid and Medicare. Designed for families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and everyday readers alike, Medicaid Made Simple offers an insider perspective focused on understanding the system as it truly operates—not through politics or ideology, but through experience.
