Medicare & Medicaid
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for Americans age 65 and older and those younger than 65 with a disability. Medicaid is a federal-state health coverage program for low-income Americans. Separately and together, they provide the backbone of health care for older Americans, particularly those with complex needs.
