medicare and medicaid
Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States that primarily covers adults above the age of 65, certain younger individuals with disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease. It provides medical coverage for hospital expenses (Part A), outpatient care and physician services (Part B), and prescription medications (Part D). Medicaid, on the other hand, is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals and families. It offers comprehensive medical benefits, including doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, and more, to those who meet specific income and eligibility criteria set by each state.
