Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medicaid is a program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families. In the United States, eligibility for Medicaid varies by state, but it is designed to assist those with limited income and resources. Medicare, on the other hand, primarily serves people over 65, regardless of income, and younger disabled people and dialysis patients. The U.S. does not have a universal health care system, and while some people may end up paying out of pocket for health services, Medicaid exists to prevent this for low-income individuals like Marie.
