Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States that provides coverage for people aged 65 or older and younger people with disabilities. The program was begun in 1965 under the Social Security Administration and is now administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Medicare is divided into four parts: A, B, C, and D, which cover hospital, outpatient, and prescription drug services, as well as alternative private plans with additional benefits. In 2022, Medicare provided health insurance for over 65 million individuals, with enrollees covering most of their healthcare expenses through additional private insurance or by joining a Medicare Part C plan.learn more on wikipedia
