Medicare provides health care for which group?

• A. Health care for people over 65
• B. Retirement paid to elderly
• C. Health care for people under 65 and living in poverty
• D. Government payments to help those in poverty

Answer: (A)

Medicare is a federal health insurance program aimed primarily at people age 65 and older. It helps cover hospital stays and medical services, with options to add further coverage. While the main group is seniors, there are also some younger people who qualify due to certain disabilities or End-Stage Renal Disease, but the standard understanding is coverage for those 65 and up. The other choices describe retirement payments or programs for people in poverty, which are not what Medicare provides.
