Medicare: Government Health Insurance for Seniors
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that helps pay the hospital and other medical expenses of people age 65 or older and certain disabled people. The program is funded by monthly premiums from the insured people and by taxes paid by employers and workers. The Social Security Administration and the Railroad Retirement Board local offices accept applications for Medicare and provide general information about the program. There are two parts to the Medicare program. Part A, Basic Hospital Insurance, and Part B, Supplementary Medical Insurance. In general, Part A covers inpatient care in a hospital, skilled nursing home, or hospice that participates in the Medicare program and home health care provided through a home health agency that participates in the Medicare program.
