Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States primarily for people aged 65 and older, though it also covers some younger individuals with disabilities or specific conditions. It consists of several parts: Part A covers hospital stays, Part B covers outpatient care and doctor visits, and Part D provides prescription drug coverage. Medicare is designed to help reduce healthcare costs for eligible individuals, but beneficiaries may still have out-of-pocket expenses, such as premiums and deductibles, depending on their specific plan choices.
