Medicare only provides health insurance coverage for individuals who are 65 years old and older, while Medicaid provides coverage for individuals and families with low incomes and limited resources. Social Security provides retirement, disability, and survivor’s benefits, but not health insurance coverage. The American Medical Association is a professional organization for physicians, not a provider of insurance coverage. Charity and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) may provide assistance to the poor, but they do not provide health insurance coverage.
