Medicare
Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States of America. It is primarily for 65 and older. However, it also covers specific younger individuals with particular disabilities and those patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Established in 1965, Medicare aims to provide beneficiaries with affordable and comprehensive health coverage. Medicare has four parts: Part A for hospital insurance, Part B for medical insurance, Part C for Medicare Advantage, an alternative way to receive benefits through private insurance companies, & Part D for prescription drug coverage. In the United States of America, Medicare plays a important role in ensuring access to healthcare for millions, helping to reduce the financial burden of medical costs, and improving the quality of life for the older and disabled population.
