"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"
