Medicare

Medicare:

A) is the health insurance program that serves poor persons, regardless of age, but covers the long-term care services of many elderly
B) was created in the 1930s during the New Deal after the Depression
C) is structured so that the elderly spend very little out of their own pockets--only about $500 a year on average
D) is an example of the uniquely American inconsistency in health care that is found in no other developed nation
E) covers so many conditions and does it so inexpensively that very few elders have some additional form of insurance
