Nine million Americans are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Called "dual eligibles," these individuals account for a disproportionate amount of the spending across both programs. Fifteen states will soon launch programs with funding from the State Demonstrations to Integrate Care for Medicare-Medicaid Enrollees.
