Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medicare is a universal program available to all individuals who are 65 years of age or older, as well as those under 65 who have been receiving Social Security disability benefits for at least two years or who have end-stage renal disease. It is not means-tested, meaning that eligibility is not based on income or assets. However, there are some income-related premiums for Medicare Part B and Part D. Medicare does not provide free health care, as beneficiaries are responsible for paying premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
