Medicare is a U.S. government health insurance program primarily designed for individuals aged sixty-five and older, although it also covers certain younger people with disabilities or specific medical conditions.

The program helps pay for hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription drugs, and other health services but does not cover all costs, requiring beneficiaries to pay premiums, deductibles, and other costs.

The official website for detailed information about coverage, costs, and how to enroll is Medicare.gov

In the next blog post we will look at the different parts of Medicare in more detail.
