Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, have certain disabilities, or have end-stage renal disease. As the woman is 66 years old and retired, she would be eligible for Medicare. Medicaid is a state-run program for people with low incomes, and Social Security and the Economic Opportunity Act are not health insurance programs.
