Medicare and Medicaid Services

Medicare and Medicaid are government programs in the United States that provide health coverage to specific groups of people. Medicare primarily serves individuals aged 65 and older and some younger people with disabilities, offering various health services, including hospital and medical coverage. Medicaid assists low-income individuals and families, covering a range of healthcare services, from hospitalizations to routine check-ups. Together, these programs aim to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to necessary medical care, thereby improving overall public health and reducing healthcare costs for individuals.
