Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, though it also covers certain younger people with disabilities or specific medical conditions. Medicare consists of different parts: Part A covers hospital and inpatient services, Part B covers outpatient care and doctor visits, Part C (Medicare Advantage) offers an alternative way to receive benefits through private plans, and Part D covers prescription drugs. It helps seniors and eligible individuals manage healthcare costs, but it often involves premiums, deductibles, and co-pays depending on the coverage chosen.
