Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Worker's Compensation is a type of insurance that covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees who are injured on the job. Since James was injured while at work, Worker's Compensation is the most appropriate health care plan to cover his expenses. Medicaid and Medicare are government-funded health care plans for low-income and elderly individuals, respectively. Medigap is a supplemental insurance plan that covers gaps in Medicare coverage. However, none of these plans are applicable to James' situation.
