d. Those over age 65 years who have low income

Answer 1

Medicare is a federal program. It is basically the same everywhere in the United States and is run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, an agency of the federal government.

It serves people over 65 primarily, whatever their income; and serves younger disabled people and dialysis patients. Patients pay part of costs through deductibles for hospital and other costs. Small monthly premiums are required for non-hospital coverage. Hence they serve those over 65 years and have a kidney disease , irrespective of income they have .

Hence (C) part is a correct answer
