If Wilma becomes terminally ill, Fred will likely use Medicaid to supplement his Medicare to cover Wilma's medical expenses. Medicaid is designed to provide increased assistance with medical needs. When individuals are unable to pay expenses that Medicare does not cover, Medicaid covers the additional expenses. Medicaid will cover hospitalizations, physician's services, diagnostic testing, pregnancies and more.
