Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, although it also covers certain individuals with disabilities. It is not a socialistic takeover of health care providers, nor does it enroll all poor people regardless of age. It may increase the demand for health care services depending on how accessible the health care is to beneficiaries.
