Medicare is the governmental program specifically designed to cover the cost of acute medical care for people who are elderly, aged 65 or older, as well as some younger people with certain disabilities. Medicaid, on the other hand, provides healthcare benefits to low-income individuals and families regardless of age.

The Elderly Care Act and the American Association of Retired Persons are not governmental programs that cover medical care costs.
