Medicare And Medicaid Law

Medicare and Medicaid are government programs that provide health care coverage primarily for older adults and low-income individuals. Medicare, mainly for those 65 and older or with certain disabilities, offers hospital and medical insurance. Medicaid helps those with limited income, covering various medical services. Both programs have specific eligibility criteria and benefits. Medicare is federally managed, while Medicaid is jointly funded by state and federal governments, with each state administering its own program. Understanding these programs is essential for accessing healthcare services and ensuring financial protection against medical costs.
