The answer to this question is option A. Medicare is a government funded program that financially aids people who are 65 years and older. Medicare has several parts, A, B and D. They all have different areas they cover. On the other hand, medicaid is eligible for people who have financial needs or people in the low income bracket. In some other states, it covers people who cannot afford insurance. This plan is normally paid directly to the health providers.
