Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medicare significantly reduced poverty among the elderly by providing health insurance to those 65 and older, and it helped narrow the healthcare gap by ensuring that older adults, regardless of income, had access to healthcare. The original Medicare plan did include hospital insurance (Part A), and while it does cover some nursing home care, it's not primarily for long-term nursing home charges. Medicare was not created by Kaiser Permanente but was established by the U.S. government in 1965.
