Medicare primarily provides health insurance for which group?

• A. People under 18
• B. People with private insurance
• C. Travelers
• D. People 65 and older

Answer: (C)

Medicare primarily provides health insurance for people 65 and older. It’s a federal program created to help older adults cover hospital stays, doctor visits, and other medical needs, with optional parts for additional coverage like prescription drugs and private Medicare Advantage plans. While most people who qualify are 65+, some younger individuals with certain disabilities or with End-Stage Renal Disease can also qualify, but the defining group is adults aged 65 and up.
